In order to find the glass of maximum capacity that can exactly measure the juice in three of the vessels, we need to find the highest common factor of the volumes of the three vessels.
Using the long division method of finding H.C.F:
The Highest Common Factor or HCF of 9,15 and 27 is 3.
Therefore, maximum capacity of the glass = 3 litres
