Question

By applying Euclid's division lemma $72$ and $28$ can be expressed as

• A. $28=(72-16)\times 2$
• B. $72=(28\times 2)+16$
• C. $72=(28\times 2)-16$
• D. $16=72-(28+2)$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$72=(28\times 2)+16$

Solution:

According to Euclid's division lemma if $a$ and $b$ are two numbers then they can be expressed as $b=ap+r.$

Therfore,

$72$ and $28$ can be expressed as

$72=(28\times 2)+16$

So, $B$ is the correct option.
