Q15 of 104 Page 1

Three different containers contain different quantities of mixtures of milk and water, whose measurements are 403 kg, 434 kg and 465 kg, what biggest measure can measure all the different quantities exactly.

Mixtures of milk and water in three containers = 403kg, 434kg,

465kg


Biggest measure which can exactly measure different quantities = HCF (403, 434, 465)




Here, 311 is the smallest power of the common factor.


HCF (403, 434, 465) = 31


So, biggest measure which can exactly measure the milk = 31L
