Question

The largest measuring cylinder that can accurately fill 3 tanks of capacity 98, 182 and 266 litres each, is of capacity ?
A) 7 lts
B) 14 lts
C) 98 lts
D) 42 lts

Answer 1

Answer:   B) 14 lts 

Explanation:

To know the the measuring cylinder that can fill all the given capacities , they must be divisible by the required number.

98,182,266 all are divisible by 14 
So  14 litres  is the largest cylinder that can fill all the given cylinders.

                                       (or)

The other method is take HCF of all given capacities i.e 98, 182 and 266.

______Heyy Buddy ❤_______

_____Here's your Answer _______

To know the largest cylinder that can accurately fill 3 tanks of capacity 98, 182 and 266 litres each, is to find the H.C.F. of the given numbers.

=> 98 = 2 × 7^2

=> 182 = 2 × 7 × 13

=> 266 = 2 × 7 × 19.

We will take the number which is common in all the expression.

So we see only 2 and 7 is common in all.

=> H.C.F = 2 × 7

=> 14.
