Answer:

60liters

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, it’s given that the merchant has 3 different oils of 120 litres, 180 litres and

240 litres respectively.

So, the greatest capacity of the tin for filling three different types of oil can be found out by

simply finding the H.C.F. of the three quantities 120,180 and 240.

Firstly, apply Euclid’s division lemma on 180 and 120.

180 = 120 x 1 + 60

120 = 60 x 2 + 0 (here the remainder becomes zero in this step)

Since the divisor at the last step is 60, the HCF (120, 180) = 60.

Now, let’s find the H.C.F of 60 and the third quantity 240.

Applying Euclid’s division lemma, we get

240 = 60 x 4 + 0

And here, since the remainder is 0, the HCF (240, 60) is 60.
