Step-by-step explanation:

HCF of 192,240 ans 168 is 24

The number of books in each strach is 24.

No of strach of physics books=8

No of strach of chemistry books=10

No of attach of maths book=7

Answer 2

Answer:

Three sets of physics chemistry and mathematics books have to be stacked.

Bur all the books are stored topic wise and the number of books in each stack is same.

Number of Physics books = 192

Number of Chemistry books = 240

Number of Mathematics books = 168

We will calculate the Highest Common Factor (HCF) of the numbers.

Factors of 192 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3

Factors of 240 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 5

Factors of 168 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 7

Common factors = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3

HCF = 24

In each stack there are 24 books. Therefore, the number of stack of each subject would be

No. of stacks of Physics books = {192}{24}

= 8

No. of stacks of Chemistry books = {240}/{24}

= 10

No. of stacks of Mathematics books = {168}/{24}

= 7

The number of stacks of physics = 8, Chemistry = 10 and mathematics = 7
