Detailed Solution

Given to find the HCF of two integers 1288 and 575 and to express it as a linear combination of 1288 and 575.
Euclid's Division Lemma states that if two positive integers a and b exist, then there must be unique values of q and r that satisfy the formula a= bq + r, where  0 ≤ r < b.
Apply Euclid’s division lemma on 1288, 575    . . .  . . .(1)
1288=575×2+138   . . .  . . .(1)
 remainder 0,  apply Euclid’s division lemma on divisor 575 and remainder 138
575=138×4+23   . . . . . . (2)
 remainder 0,  apply Euclid’s division lemma on divisor 138 and remainder 23
138=23×6+0   . . . . . . (3)
 remainder =0  
Hence, HCF of 1288, 575 is 23
Now, from (3)
23=575138×4   . . . . . .(4)
Substitute (1) in (4),
23=575(1288575×2)×4 =5751288×4+575×8 =575×91288×4  
 HCF of 1288 and 575 is 23 and can be expressed as a linear combination of 1288 and 575 by,
23 =  575 × 9 - 1288 × 4.
Hence the correct option is 2.
