Answer 1

Answer:

No. of stack of English book: 96/48 = 2 No. of stack of Hindi book: 240/48 = 5 No. of stock of Math book: 336/48 = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of English, Hindi and Math books are 96, 240 and 336 respectively 

So, we need to find the H.C.F of 96, 240 and 336 

HCF of the three numbers is 48. 

Now divide the three numbers by the HCF to obtain the no. of stack of all the three books.

No. of stack of English book: 96/48 = 2 No. of stack of Hindi book: 240/48 = 5 No. of stock of Math book: 336/48 = 7
