Question

144 litres of kerosene is equally distributed in 12 cans. How much

kerosene is there in each can?​

Answer 1

Answer:

A container can measure 850 liters of petrol an exact number of times(i.e. in integral multiple) if its capacity in liters is a divisor of 850. Also to measure 680 liters of petrol the capacity in liters must also be divisor of 680.

Therefore, the required maximum quantity of the container is the H.C.F of 850 L and 680 L.

Hence the maximum quantity of the container = 170 L.

Required number of times = (5+4) = 9.    (Ans.)
