[NICL (GIC) AD (Finance) , 2013]

    • Explanation

    Here, we have to find maximum number.

    Hence, we have to find out the HCF of 2923 and 3239

    So, find the HCF of these two numbers by factorisation method

    i.e, 2923=1, 37, 79

          3239=1, 41, 79

    ∴ HCF=79

    Hence, maximum number of girls =79.

    Hence, Option B is correct.
