Question

16. Two tankers contain 850 litres and 680 litres of petrol respectively. Find the maximum capacity of a container which can measure the petrol of either tanker in exact number of times.

Answer 1

Given
Capacity of 1st tank =850l
Capacity of 2nd tank= 680l
Therefore,maximum capacity of a container which can measure the kerosene oil of both the tankers when used an exact no.of times = hcf of 850,680
=2×5×17=170l

Answer 2

Hey mate!

Here's your answer!!

Capacity of 1st tanker = 850 litres

Capacity of 2nd tanker = 680 litres

Capacity of the container which can measure the petrol of each tanker in exact number of times = HCF (850, 680)

HCF (850, 680) {by prime factorisation}

850 = 2 x 5 x 5 x 17

680 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 17

HCF = 2 x 5 x 17 = 170

The capacity of such container should be 170 litres.
