A florist made as many identical bunches of flowers as she possibly could, using a total of 100
carnations, 150 tulips and 200 lilies.
How many flowers did she use in each bunch?
1) 5
2) 9
3) 10
4) 20
H.C.F. of 100, 150 and 200 is as,
Therefore, H.C.F.=
Now,the number of carnations used in each bunch = 100/50 = 2
and, number of tulips used in each bunch = 150/50 = 3
and, number of lilies used in each bunch = 200/50 = 4
So, Total number of carnations, tulips and lilies used in each bunch = 2+3+4 = 9
Hence,, She used 9 flowers in each bunch.
