उत्तर
A shopkeeper has three brands A, B and C of biscuits are available in packets of 12, 15 and 21 biscuits respectively.
Also, a shopkeeper wants to buy equal number of biscuits of each brand for that we need to find the LCM of 12, 15 and 21.
| 2 | 12, 15, 21 |
| 2 | 6, 15, 21 |
| 3 | 3, 15, 21 |
| 5 | 1, 5, 7 |
| 7 | 1, 1, 7 |
| 1, 1, 1 |
∴ The LCM of 12, 15 and 21
= 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 × 7
= 420
Thus, the required number of packets of 420.
Brand A = `420/12` = 35
Brand B = `420/15` = 28
Brand C = `420/21` = 20
