Solution

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

Factors of 24 are:

(1 mark)

Factors of 30 are:


(1 mark)

We can observe that 6 is the highest common factor.

∴ The HCF of 24 and 30 is 6. (0.5 mark)

Hence, she can pack at most 6 bags, each containing 4 green beads and 5 orange beads. (0.5 mark)
