a. 34
b. 44
c. 46
d. None of the above

Answer 1

b. 44

H.C.F. of 403,465,496 is = 31

Therefore largest capacity of bottles must be 31 ltr

Now,

No. of bottles required to put 403 ltr of petrol

i.e. 403/31 = 13

In the same way,

No. of bottles required to put 465 ltr of diesel

=465/31=15

No. of bottles required to put 496 litre of mobil oil

496/31 = 16

Therefore, least no. of bottle required of 31 litre size

= 13+15+16

=44
