Solution
The correct option is Ax=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=27−18×1 =27−(45−27×1)×1[using(1)] =27−45×1+27×1×1 =27−45+27 =54−45 ⇒9=27×2−45×1 ...(4)
Comparing (4) with d=27x+45y, we get d=9,x=2andy=−1
