Find the greatest number which, while dividing 19, 83 and 67, gives a remainder of 3 in each case?

A. 16
B. 17
C. 18
D. 19
Explanation:
Subtract the remainder 3 from each of the given numbers: (19-3)=16, (67-3)=64 and (83-3)=80. Now, find the HCF of the results 16, 64 and 80, we get 16. Thus, the greatest number is 16.
