Answer:

if all the gift hamper should be identical then number of each fruit contained in gift hampers would be calculated by taking HCF of the number of fruits .

HCF of 40 , 24 , 16 is 8

number of bananas in each gift hamper=5

number of oranges in each gift hamper=3

number of pineapples in each gift hamper = 2
