Explanatory Answer

We will get the box size by taking H.C.F of 126, 162, 198, 306.
So that H.C.F = 18.
Hence, the required box should have 18 fruits each.
For Oranges, we need 7 boxes
For Apples, we need 9 boxes
For Guavas, we need 11 boxes
For Pears, we need 17 boxes.
In total we need, 7 + 9 + 11 + 17 = 44 boxes


The answer is '44'

Choice C is the correct answer.
