Answer» Maximum number of burfis in each stack = H.C.F. of 420 and 150 `420 = 2 xx 2 xx 3 xx 5 xx 7 , 150 = 2xx 3 xx 5 xx 5` `therefore " "` H.C.F. = ` 2 xx 3 xx 5 = 30` `therefore` Maximum number of burfis in each stack = 30 `therefore` Also , number of stacks = `(420)/(30) + (150)/(30) = 14 + 5 = 19` |
