Answer:
35 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Given lengths are: 7 m 3 m 85 cm, 12 m 95 cm.
(i) 7 m = 700 cm
(ii) 3 m 85 cm = 385 cm
(iii) 12 m 95 cm = 1295 cm
∴ Required length = HCF(700, 285, 1295)
Prime factorization of 700 = 2² * 5² * 7
Prime factorization of 285 = 5 * 7 * 11
Prime factorization of 1295 = 5 * 7 * 37
∴ HCF(700,285,1295) = 5 * 7 = 35
Therefore, the greatest length is 35 cm
Hope it helps!

7m = 700cm
3m 85 cm = 385 cm
12 m 95 cm = 1295 cm
HCF of 700,385 and 1295 is 35.
So to measure exactly, the greatest length we can use is 35cm.
