The capacity of required container will be obtained by finding the HCF of the capacity of tankers -
180 = 2×2x5×3×3
240 = 2×2×2×2x2x5
Common factors of 180 and 240=2x2x5
HCF = 2x2x5
= 20
Answer) The container which can measure petrol of either tank exactly must be of 20 litres.

capacity of first tanker= 180 litre
capacity of second tanker= 240 litre
maximum capacity of container which can measure petrol
=HCF(180,240)
180= 2*2*5*3*3
240=2*2*2*3*2*5
HCF=2*5*3
=30
capacity of second tanker= 240 litre
maximum capacity of container which can measure petrol
=HCF(180,240)
180= 2*2*5*3*3
240=2*2*2*3*2*5
HCF=2*5*3
=30
