Question

There are 312, 260 and 156 students in class X, XI and XII respectively. Buses are to be hired to take these students to a picnic. Find the maximum number of students who can sit in a bus if each bus takes equal number of students

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

=12

Answer 2

hcf of 312,260 and 156 =52

maxm no students seating in a buus =52

no of buses required=312+260+156/54=q14
