Correct option is D
Given:
Numbers: 45, 95, and 185
Formula Used:
Greatest number dividing x, y, and z leaving the same remainder is the HCF of |x - y|, |y - z|, and |z - x|.
Solution:
Differences between the given numbers:
|95 - 45| = 50
|185 - 95| = 90
|185 - 45| = 140
Now, find the HCF of 50, 90, and 140.
Factors of 50 = 2 × 5 × 5
Factors of 90 = 2 × 3 × 3 × 5
Factors of 140 = 2 × 2 × 5 × 7
Common factors = 2 × 5 = 10
HCF = 10
Final Answer
So the correct answer is (d)
