Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Correct Option: (d)
Here, we are asked to find the largest size of tile. Therefore, calculate H.C.F.
Step 1: Covert numbers without decimal places i.e 455 cm and 525 cm
Step 2: Find the H.C.F. of 455 and 525
H.C.F. of 455 and 525 = 35 cm
Hence, the largest size of the tile is 35 cm.
