What is the greatest number of oranges that can be distributed equally either among 6 boys or among 8 girls?
A)24
B)12
C)8
D)6
E)cannot be determined.

LCM of 6 & 8 is 24

Thus the minimum number of oranges that can be distributed equally either among 6 boys or among 8 girls is \(24\)

Hence, the maximum number of oranges that can be distributed equally either among 6 boys or among 8 girls is \(24*n\)

So, the correct answer will be (E) as the maximum value of Oranges depends on the value of \(" n "\)

Hi.
Absolutely yes.
We should focus on the answer choices.
The presence of Cannot be Determined signifies that we consider the possibility of not getting a unique answer.
