HEY DEAR .

___________________________


Volume V1 = 398 liters
V2 = 436 Litres
     a drum of capacity D litres is used to transfer the milk to other containers.  When we transfer milk, we transfer D litres, 2D litres, 3 D , 4D etc. amounts.  If there is any milk left out, that will be a fraction of the capacity of the drum.

  let m and n be integers.
   V1 = 398 = m * D + 7      =>    m * D = 391 = 17 * 23
   V2 = 436 = n * D + 11    =>    n * D = 425  =  5 * 5 * 17
        Looking at both equations ,  D = 17  , as only 17 occurs in both.

answer is 17 liters.

HOPE , IT HELPS.
