Options- A. 78 m
- B. 56 m
- C. 76 m
- D. 86 m Discuss
Correct Answer: 76 m

Options- A. It is always 1
- B. It is always 2
- C. Either 1 or 2
- D. None of the above Discuss
Correct Answer: Either 1 or 2
Explanation:
Putting arbitrary values of a and b.
IIIustration 1:
Let a = 9 and b = 8
HCF (8 + 9, 9 - 8)
HCF (17, 1) = 1
IIIustration 2:
Let a = 23 and b =17
HCF (17 + 23, 23 -17)
HCF ( 40, 6) = 2
Hence, HCF (a + b, a - b) can either be 1 or 2.- 4. 5358 x 51 =?
