    Answer: (a)
    Explanation: Since 5 and 8 are the
    remainders of 70 and 125, respectively. Thus after subtracting
    these remainders from the
    numbers, we have the numbers
    65 = (70 − 5), 117 = (125 − 8) which is
    divisible by the required number.
    Now required number = H.C.F of
    (65,117)
