Solution

no. of cans:3
capacity of 1st can:527litres
capacity of 2nd can:646litres
capacity of 3rd can:748 litres
largest container that can measure all the above cans exactly is equla to the HCF of three number.
HCF of 527 , 646 and 748 is 17
as 17 can divide all the three numbers.
therefore answer = 17 litre
