A fruit seller has 30 apples, 45 oranges and 60 mangoes. He wants to arrange them in heaps of equal size. He does not want more than 10 fruits in a heap and he wants more than 20 heaps but less than 30 heaps. Help him arrange the fruits as per his requirement. Draw a colourful diagram to explain the arrangement.

30+45+60 = 135



135 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 5



30 < heap >20

so

heap will have



3 x 3 x 3 = 27 items

and fruit seller will make 5 heaps





lol



EDIT:



and each heap will contain 30/5 = 6 apples,45/5 = 9 oranges and 60/5 = 12 mangoes



lol

20 heaps (1 apple + 2 oranges + 2 mangoes) and 5 heaps (2 apples + 1 orange + 4 mangoes) will do.

there should be 5 fruits in one heap as 15 is GCD of 30,45&60

each number is divisible by 5

there 6 heap of apple,5 apple in each

9 heap of oranges,12 heap of mangos

total heaps=6+9+12=27

20<27<30

so 2 rows of apple ,3 heap in each row

3 rows of oranges of each 3 heaps

4 rows of mango ,5 mango in a heao
