    Answer : Option C

    Explanation :

    For the capacity of the biggest container, we have to find the HCF.
    HCF: By Long Division method
    First find the HCF of two numbers, 496 and 403

    Aptitude H.C.F and L.C.M

    The HCF of 496 and 403 = 31
    Now find the HCF of 31 and 713

    Aptitude H.C.F and L.C.M

    HCF of 713 and 31 is 31
    So, the maximum capacity is 31 liters.
