Answer:31 L
Step-by-step explanation:
First, We need to find H.C.F of 403, 434 and 465 to find the maximum capacity of a container that can measure the diesel of the three containers exact number of times.
31 is the only common prime factor of 403, 434 and 465. Therefore, 31 is the H.C.F of 403, 434 and 465.
Therefore, 31 litres is the maximum capacity of a container that can measure the diesel of the three containers exact number of times.
