Solution

The correct option is A x=2,y=1
Applying Euclid's division lemma to 27 and 45, we get
45=27×1+18 ...(1)
27=18×1+9 ...(2)
18=9×2+0 ...(3)
Since the remainder is zero, therefore, last divisor 9 is the HCF of 27 and 45.
From (2), we get
9=2718×1
=27(4527×1)×1 [using(1)]
=2745×1+27×1×1
=2745+27
=5445
9=27×245×1 ...(4)

Comparing (4) with d=27x+45y, we get
d=9,x=2 and y=1
