Correct Answer: 50


Solution : Given: 
The greatest number which when divides 456 and 553 leaves the remainder as 6 and 3, respectively.
The number will divide (456 – 6) = 450 and (553 – 3) = 550 completely.
Now the greatest number that will divide 450 and 550 completely is the HCF of 450 and 550.
$\therefore$ The HCF of 450 and 550 is 50.
Hence, the correct answer is 50.
