The maximum capacity of a container which can measure the kerosene oil of both the tankers when used an exact number of times is 170 Litres.
Amount of kerosene in first tanker = 850 litres
Amount of kerosene in Second tanker = 680 litres
The maximum capacity of a container which can measure the kerosene oil of both the tankers when used an exact number of times will be the HCF of amount of kerosene in first tanker and amount of kerosene in second tanker i.e., HCF of 850 litres and 680 litres.
To calculate HCF of 850 and 680 , we can write
850 = 2 × 5 × 5 × 17
680 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 5 × 17
HCF of 850 and 680 = 2 × 5 × 17 = 170
