if the retailer purchases the box in which 64 bottles are there so-64x2=128 bottles.
128<144
so,the retailer should buy 2 boxes of 64 bottles for minimum number..


divyanshumadan: I think LCM should be taken
ridam: yes but this is also right.
divyanshumadan: U haven't got the question
ridam: i havent understood 100% f the question..
divyanshumadan: there is a wholesaler. he sells bottles in a pack of 64 or 144. how much bottles a retailer must buy so that he has the option of purchasing it in a pack of 64 or 144
divyanshumadan: I think the answer is 576
divyanshumadan: he can purchase it in 64*9=576 or 144*4=576
ridam: oh?i have now undrstood the answer..
