Answer 1

Hey Dear,

◆ Answer -

(c) 20

● Explaination -

Given that the florist have to make garlands with largest number of flowers for both roses & jasmines.

For this we have to calculate highest common factor of number of Roses & Jasmines -

Factors of 180 => 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 30, 36, 45, 60, 90, 180.

Factors of 200 => 1, 2 , 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 25, 40, 50, 100, 200.

Observing above factors, we can say that 20 is the highest common factor of 180 and 200.

Therefore, florist can make garlands with maximum 20 flowers for both roses & jasmines.

Thanks dear...
