Answer:
HCF(850, 650) will give the maximum capacity of container.
850 = 650 * 1 + 200
650 = 200*3 + 50
200 = 50 * 4 + 0
Therefore, HCF of 850 and 650 is 50
Therefore, the maximum capacity of a container which can measure the petrol of each tanker in exact number of times is 50 litres.
hope it helps
