Question

In a seminar, the number of participants in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry are 60, 96

and 144 respectively. In each room, the same number of participants are to be seated and all of

them are to be in the same subject.

a) Find the maximum number of participants in each room.

b) Find the number of rooms required.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

a) HCF of 60,96,144 = 12

maximum number of participants = 12

b) rooms for maths= 60/12 = 5

rooms for physics= 96/12= 8

rooms for chemistry= 144/12= 12

total rooms= 5+8+12 = 25
