प्रश्न

उत्तर

Quantity of oil A = 120 liters

Quantity of oil B = 180 liters

uantity of oil C = 240 liters

We want to fill oils A, B and C in tins of the same capacity

∴ The greatest capacity of the tin chat can hold oil. A, B and C = HCF of 120, 180 and 240

By fundamental theorem of arithmetic

120 = 23 × 3 × 5

180 = 22 × 32 × 5

240 = 24 × 3 × 5

HCF = 22 × 3 × 5 = 4 × 3 × 5 = 60 liters

The greatest capacity of tin = 60 liters
