Question

Find the maximum number of children to whom 42 apples, 56 mangoes and 84bananas can be distributed equally. How much will each get? Find it.

Answer 1

Answer:

For this, you need to find the HCF of the given numbers 540, 450 and 630.

It’s easy to see that the HCF is 90.

Now when there are 90 people, each one would get 6 Oranges, each one would get 5 Apples and each one would get 7 Bananas.

If you try to go beyond 90 then in some or all cases, either you would require to divide the fruits or there would be uneven distribution i. e. some would get ‘x’ Oranges whereas few others would get ‘y’ Oranges if we are not giving fractional fruits
