Complete-Test, Previous year (2016)
Explanation:
5 hobby groups - photography, yachting, chess electronis and gardening.
Gardening - Meets every second day hence = 90 times in 180 days.
Electronis group meets every third day = 60 times / 180
Chess group meets every 4th day = 45 times / 180
Yachting group meets every 5th day = 36 times / 180
Photography group meets every 6th day = 30 times / 180
We have to find highest common factor of these 5 numbers 90, 60, 45, 36 and 30. It is 3.
