Detailed Solution

Given numbers are 135 and 225.
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+r  where 0r<b. Here, larger number is dividend, smaller number is divisor, is a quotient and is the remainder.
225=135×1+90   [by Euclid’s algorithm]
Here, a=225, b=135, q=1 and r=90.
135=90×1+45 Here, a=135, b=90, q=1 and r=45.
90=45×2+0 Here, a=90, b=45, q=2 and r=0.
Since the remainder is zero, therefore, last divisor 45 is the HCF of 135 and 225.
HCF of 135 and 225 is 45.
Hence, option 4 is correct.
