Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

two tankers contain 850 and 680 litres of petrol respectively the maximum capacity of a tanker which can measure the petrol of either tanker in exact number of times is ____175____ litre

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

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

850 = 2×5×5×17

680 = 2×2×2×5×17

Common factors of 850 and 680 = {2,5,17}

HCF = 2×5×17

= 170

Answer:- The container which can measure petrol of either tank exactly must be of 170 litres.
