Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Dear student

A farmer wishes to distribute 153 oranges and 102 guavas into baskets of equal size that will contain each of the above in equal number.

Oranges = 153 = 3 * 3 * 17

Guavas = 102 = 2 * 3 * 17

HCF = 3 * 17 = 51

Smallest common factor other than 1 = 3

We can have 3 Baskets  

Then 51 Oranges  + 34 guavas in one basket

Total Fruits in one basket = 51 + 34 = 85

or if we put equal fruits in each basket individually

then 3 basket of 51 oranges

        2 baskets of 51 guavas

total 5 Basket

51 fruits in each basket
