Detailed Solution

The given numbers are 867 and 255.
We need to find the H.C.F of the given numbers using Euclid’s algorithm.
According to the definition of Euclid's algorithm,
a=b×q+where 0r<b.
Here, larger number is dividend, smaller number is divisor, is a quotient and is the remainder.
867=255×3+102 Here, a=867, b=255, q=3 and r=102.
255=102×2+51 Here, a=255, b=102, q=2 and r=51.
102=51×2+0 Here, a=102, b=51, q=2 and r=0.
Since the remainder is zero, therefore, last divisor 51 is the HCF of 867 and 225.
Therefore, the HCF of 867 and 255 is 51.
Hence, option 2 is correct.
