Solution

The correct option is C 6

To find the maximum number of bags she can pack, we need to find the highest common factor (HCF) of the given numbers.

Factors of 24 are:


Factors of 30 are:


Now, let us find the common factors of both the numbers using a Venn diagram.


We can observe that 6 is the highest common factor.

∴ The HCF of 24 and 30 is 6.

Hence, she can pack atmost 6 bags, each containing 4 green beads and 5 orange beads.
