Problems on HCF and LCM - General Aptitude

Q1:

Let N be the greatest number that will divide 1305, 4665 and 6905, leaving the same remainder in each case. Then sum of the digits in N is:

A 4

B 5

C 6

D 8

ANS:A - 4

N = H.C.F. of (4665 - 1305), (6905 - 4665) and (6905 - 1305)   = H.C.F. of 3360, 2240 and 5600 = 1120. Sum of digits in N = ( 1 + 1 + 2 + 0 ) = 4
