the maximum capacity of a container that can measure the diesel of the three containers
exact number of times.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

31 litres of container is required to measure the quantity

Step-by-step explanation:

The maximum capacity of container = H.C.F. of (403, 434, 465)

Factors of 403 = 13 x 31

Factors of 434 = 2 x 7 x 31

Factors of 465 = 3 x 5 x 31

H.C.F = 31

Therefore, 31 liters of container is required to measure the quantity.
