Answer 1

Answer:

35 litres

Step-by-step explanation:

Three tankers contain 105 litres, 140 litres and 175 litres of oil.

We need to find: Maximum measuring capacity of the container to measure the three tankers.

Since measuring capacity is smaller than 105,140,175  

Maximum measuring capacity=HCF of 105,140,175

Factors of 105=3*35

Factors of 140=4*35

Factors of 175=5*35

So,HCF=35

∴ Maximum measuring capacity=35 litres
