  1. Question 1

    Q1. A merchant has three different types of milk: 435 liters, 493 liters and 551 liters. Find the least number of casks of equal size required to store all the milk without mixing. HCF

    • A) 51
    • B) 61
    • C) 47
    • D) 45

    Answer: 51

    Explanation: HCF(435, 493, 551) = 29 (since differences 58 = 2×29 and HCF(435,29) = 29). Number of casks = 435/29 + 493/29 + 551/29 = 15 + 17 + 19 = 51.
