Answer: Quantities of oil = 120 litres, 180 litres, 240 litres
Greatest capacity of the tin = HCF of 120, 180, and 240.
Prime factorizations:
\(120 = 2^3 \times 3 \times 5\)
\(180 = 2^2 \times 3^2 \times 5\)
\(240 = 2^4 \times 3 \times 5\)
HCF = \(2^2 \times 3 \times 5 = 4 \times 3 \times 5 = 60\)
The greatest capacity of such a tin is 60 litres.
In simple words: Finding the maximum equal capacity requires calculating the HCF of the given quantities.

Exam Tip: Whenever questions ask for "greatest", "maximum", or "largest" equal parts, calculate the HCF.

Q.7. Fill the missing numbers in the factor tree.
Answer: Top number = 54
Left branch of 54 splits into 6 and 9 (since \(6 \times 9 = 54\)).
The branch from 6 splits into 2 and 3 (since \(2 \times 3 = 6\)).
The branch from 9 splits into 3 and 3 (since \(3 \times 3 = 9\)).
Missing numbers in the factor tree from left to right at the bottom are: 2, 3, 3, 3.

In simple words: Subtract the given number from 21 to find the missing value.

Exam Tip: Borrow 1 from 21 as \(\frac{5}{5}\) to subtract \(\frac{3}{5}\) easily: \(20\frac{5}{5} - 7\frac{3}{5} = 13\frac{2}{5}\).

Q.10. Rita's weight is \(50\frac{3}{4}\) kg and Anu's weight is \(50\frac{4}{5}\) kg. Who is heavier and by how much?
Answer: Rita's weight = \(50\frac{3}{4} = 50.75\) kg
Anu's weight = \(50\frac{4}{5} = 50.80\) kg
Comparing fractions: \(\frac{3}{4} = \frac{15}{20}\) and \(\frac{4}{5} = \frac{16}{20}\). Since \(\frac{16}{20} > \frac{15}{20}\), Anu is heavier.
Difference = \(50\frac{4}{5} - 50\frac{3}{4} = \frac{4}{5} - \frac{3}{4} = \frac{16 - 15}{20} = \frac{1}{20} \text{ kg}\)
Anu is heavier by \(\frac{1}{20}\) kg.
In simple words: Convert fractions to have a common denominator to compare weights and find the difference.

Exam Tip: Comparing decimal equivalents of fractions is a reliable way to determine which is larger.
