Detailed Solution

Given,
The numbers  are 4052 and 12576.
Let a=12576   and b=4052  ,
Now as we know,
Euclid division lemma states that if we have two numbers a and b, then there exist unique integers p and q which satisfies the condition a=bq+r,0r<b  .
Using Euclid division algorithm, we get,
12576=4052×3+420  
4052=420×9+272   420=272×1+148   420=148×2+124   148=124×1+24    124=24×5+4   24=4×6+0  
Now remainder is zero,
Hence, the HCF is 4.
Therefore, option(1)     is correct answer.
