    Three distances are 8 m, 9 m 20 cm and 10 m 80 cm long. What is the greatest possible length which can be used to measure these ropes?

    A)  40 cm   

    B)  50 cm        

    C)  60 cm             

    D)  1 m 20 cm

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    (a): Greatest length will be HCF of 800, 920 and 1080 Consider 80, 92 and 180 By prime factorization method, \[\left. \begin{align}   & 80={{2}^{4}}\times 5 \\  & 92={{2}^{2}}\times 23 \\  & 108={{2}^{2}}\times {{3}^{3}} \\ \end{align} \right]\]Common factor =\[{{2}^{2}}=4\] Hence, HCF = 40
