Answer: The greatest number of students for whom 30 apples, 45 pears and 60 oranges can be distributed equally is 15.

Explanation:

taking HCF

so

HCF of 30,45,60

30 = 2*5*3

45 = 3*3*5

60=3*2*2*5

HCF = 3*5 = 15

so

1 student will get = 30/15 = 2 apples

1 student will get = 45/15 = 3 pears

1 student will get = 60/15 = 4 oranges
