Question

Two tankers contain 234 litres and 169 litres of petrol, respectively. Find the maximum capacity
of a container which can measure the petrol in either of the tankers in exact number of times.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Capacity of the 2nd tank = 680 litres. Therefore, the max. capacity of a container, which can measure the petrol of either tanker in exact number of litres = HCF OF 850 and 680. So, The maximum capacity of the container is 170 litres

Answer 2

Answer:

13 Litres

Step-by-step explanation:

The capacity of required container will be obtained by finding the HCF of the capacity of tankers -

234 = 2 × 3 × 3 × 13

169 = 13 × 13

Common factor of 234 and 169 = 13

HCF = 13

The container which can measure petrol of either tank exactly must be of 13 litres.
