Three sets of English, Mathematics and Science contain 336, 240 and 96 books respectively. They have to be arranged in such a manner that they are arranged subjective and their heights will be same. Find out the number of heaps?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
Heights of one heap = HCF of 336, 240 and 96
Heights of one heap = 48 Books
Total number of heaps = \(\frac{total\;books}{Height\;of\;one\;book}\)
= \(\frac{336}{48}\) + \(\frac{240}{48}\) + \(\frac{96}{48}\) = 7 + 5 + 2 =14
