Answer 1

Answer:

17

33

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 136 apples,170 mangoes and 255 oranges . These are to be arranged in heaps containing the same number of fruits . Find the greatest number of fruits possible in each heap. How many heaps are formed

We need to find HCF of

136 , 170 & 255

136 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 17

170 = 2 * 5 * 17

255 = 3 * 5 * 17

HCF = 17

the greatest number of fruits possible in each heap = 17

Heaps of Apple = 136/17 = 8

Heaps of Mangoes = 170/17 = 10

Heaps of Oranges = 255/17 = 15

Total Number of Heaps = 8 + 10 + 15 = 33
