Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A) each person would get rice, biscuit and water bottle. Each of them would get equal number of items. And nothing should be leftover and we have to find maximum no of persons. So

Take HCF of 27,54,81 and it is =27 is the no of people who would get 1packet rice, 2 packet s of biscuit and 3 water bottle s

B) Here also find HCF of 42 and 24=6 hence total 6 columns required to plant 7 Rose and 4 Jasmine plants in each column to hold all 42+24=66 plants.
