Best answer

175 litres of cow’s milk. 

105 litres of goat’s milk. 

H.C.F of 175 & 105 by using Euclid’s division algorithm. 

175 = 105 x 1 + 70, the remainder 70 ≠ 0 

Again using division algorithm, 

105 = 70 x 1 + 35, the remainder 35 ≠ 0 

Again using division algorithm. 

70 = 35 x 2 + 0, the remainder is 0.

∴ 35 is the H.C.F of 175 & 105. 

(i) ∴ The milk man’s milk can’s capacity is 35 litres. 

(ii) No. of cow’s milk obtained = 175/35 = 5 cans 

(iii) No. of buffalow’s milk obtained = 105/35 = 3 cans
