First change the length into cm.
[1m= 100cm]
7m= 700cm
3m 85cm= 3×100+85= 385cm
12m95cm= 12×100+95=1295cm
Find the H.C.F of 3 lengths 700cm, 385cm, 1295cm
700= 2× 2× 5×5×7 = 2²×5²×7
385= 5×7×11
1295= 5×7×37
H.C.F= 5×7 = 35

Solution :-
To find the length of the longest tape to be used for measuring the 7 m, 4 m 85 cm and 12 m 95 cm exactly, we have to find the H.C.F. of these lengths.
7 m = 700 cm
3 m 85 cm = 385 cm
12 m 95 cm = 1295 cm
H.C.F. of 700, 385 and 1295

H.C.F. of 700, 385 and 1295 = 5*7 = 35
= 35 cm
The length of the longest tape is 35 cm which can be used to measure exactly the length 7 m, 3 m 85 cm and 12 m 95 cm.
