Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
Total volume of Oil A = 168 litres
Total volume of Oil B = 234 litres
Formula used:
Maximum volume of each container = HCF (Highest Common Factor) of the two given volumes
Calculations:
Find HCF of 168 and 234:
Prime factorization of 168 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 7
Prime factorization of 234 = 2 × 3 × 3 × 13
Common factors = 2 × 3
⇒ HCF = 6
∴ The maximum volume (in litres) of each container that Deepesh uses is 6 litres.
