Answer. [A]      

Solution. First of all, subtract the remainder from the given number.

(70 – 5) = 65
(125 – 8) = 117
The required number is HCF of 65 and 117

                       
65 = 5 × 13 × 1
117 = 3 × 3 × 13 × 1
HCF = 13
Hence 13 is the largest number which is divided by 70 and 120 & leaves the remainder 5 and 8.
Therefore, option (A) is correct.
