Question
Let N be the greatest number that will divide 78, 109,
140 leaving the same remainder in each case. Then sum of the digits in N is:Solution
To find the greatest number that leaves common remainder in each case, The HCF of (109-78), (140-78), (140-109) = 31 In this case the number will be 31. And sum of digits will be = 4
