Question

three tankers contains 187L , 275L,231L of petrol respectively.find the largest capacity container that can measure the petrol​

Answer 1

Answer:

we have

petrol in first tanker=187L

petrol in second tanker=231L

petrol in third tabker=275L

The capacity of the largest container that can measure the petrol of the three containers exact no. of times =HCF(187L,231L,275L)

Applying Euclid's algorithm to187and231 ,we get

231=187×1+44

187=44×4+11

44=11×4+0

clearly, HCF of 187&231is11.

Now,we find the HCF of 11 &275,we get. 275=11×25+0

clearly,HCF of 275&11 is11.

Hence, the required capacity of the largest container that can measure the petrol of the three tankers exact no. of times is11L. ANSWER
