Answer:
In order to arrange the books as required, we have to find the largest number that divides 96, 240 and 336 exactly. Clearly, such a number is their HCF Computation of 96, 240 and 336.
\begin{gathered}96 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3 \\ 240 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 5 \\ 336 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 7\end{gathered}
96=2×2×2×2×2×3
240=2×2×2×2×3×5
336=2×2×2×2×3×7
Therefore the HCF is 48.
Stacks of English books = 96/48 = 2
Stacks of Hindi books = 240/48 = 5
Stacks of Maths books = 336/48 = 7
