    The following are the first and last steps in finding the H.C.F. of 408 and 1032 using Euclid's algorithm.
    Step 1: \[\text{1}0\text{32}=\text{4}0\text{8}\times \text{2}+\text{216}\]
    Step 2: ___________
    Step 3: ___________
    Step 4: \[\text{192 }=\text{24}\times \text{8}+0\]
    Choose the steps 2 and 3.
    (i) 408=2161+1921
    (ii) 408=216+180+12
    (iii) 216 =192 1 + 24
    (iv) 192 = 24 8 + 0

    A)  (i) and (ii)           

    B)  (i) and (iii)

    C)  (ii) and (iii)     

    D)         (iii) and (iv)

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Using Euclid's algorithm, H.C.F. of 408 and 1032 is: Step 1: \[\text{(25}\times \text{7)cm}\] Step 2: \[~(\text{2}\times \text{52}\times \text{73) cm}\] Step 3: \[=(\text{25}\times \text{7})\text{(2}\times {{\text{5}}^{\text{2}}}\times {{\text{7}}^{\text{3}}}\text{) c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}\] Step 4: \[={{\text{2}}^{\text{6}}}\times {{\text{5}}^{\text{2}}}\times {{\text{7}}^{\text{4}}}\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}\] Hence, the required steps are (i) and (iii) only.
