Dear friends,

● Answer -

Capacity of container = 25 L.

◆ Explaination -

Here, we'll have to find the capacity of container used to fill both tanks exact no of times.

Factors of 225 & 350 are given by -

Factors of 225 => 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 25, 45, 75, 225

Factors of 350 => 1, 2, 5, 7, 10, 14, 25, 35, 50, 70, 175, 350

HCF of 225 & 350 => 25

Hence, container of 25 L can be used to fill the 225 L tank exactly 9 times & 350 L tank exactly 14 times.
