Correct option is A)
Here, we need to find differences between the given numbers. If two numbers give the same remainder when divided by some other number, then their difference must give a remainder of zero when divided by that number. Our numbers here are 91−43=48,183−91=92,183−43=140 So we have the set of numbers {48,92,140} and we want to know the biggest number that divides all these numbers.
