Question

. There are 156, 208 and 206 students in groups A,B and C, respectively. Buses are to be hired to take
them for a field trip. Find the maximum number of buses to be hired, if the same number of
students should be accommodated in each bus.

Answer 1

Since , the same number of students are to be distributed in groups

we need to find the HCF of number of students in different groups

HCF(156,208,260)=52

Hence, 52 students can accommodate in each bus

So, Total number of Buses =

52

Total Students

=

52

624
