  1. The Number of room will be minimum if each room accomodates maximum

    number of participants. Since in each room the same number of participants

    are to be seated and all of them must be of the same subject. Therefore, the
    number of participants in each room must be the HCF of 60,84 and
    108. The prime factorisations of 60,84 and 108 are as under.

    60=×3×5, 84=×3×7 and 108=×

     HCF of 60,84 and 108 is ×3=12
    Therefore, in each room 12 participants can be seated.

     Number of rooms required=Total number of participants/12
    =(60+84+108)/12=252​/12=21
