    A 45 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 90 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 65 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 70 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Subtract the common remainder 7 from both numbers: 917 - 7 = 910 1337 - 7 = 1330 Now find HCF of 910 and 1330. 1330 - 910 = 420 910 = 420 x 2 + 70 420 = 70 x 6 So HCF = 70
