Q1: Renu purchases two bags of fertiliser of weights 75 kg and 69 kg. Find the maximum value of weight which can measure the weight of the fertiliser exact number of times.
Answer:
The maximum weight = HCF of 75 and 69.
Factors of 75 = 3 ✕ 5 ✕ 5
Factors of 69 = 3 ✕ 69
HCF = 3
∴ the required weight is 3 kg.
