Answer 2

Answer:

The minimum number of buses to be hired is 12.

Given:

Number of students in Group A = 156

Number of students in Group B = 208

Number of students in Group C = 260

Total number of students = 156 + 208 + 260 = 624

156 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 13

208 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 13

260 = 2 x 2 x 5 x 13

HCF = 2 x 2 x 13 = 52

Number of students per bus = 52

Number of buses = 624/52 = 12.
