Detailed Solution

Given,
Total number of sheep = 2494
Total number of lambs = 2193
Here, maximum order of animals in each flock = Highest common factor HCF of (2193, 2494)
Factors of 2193 and 2949
2193=3×17×43
2494=2×29×43 
Here, 43 is common in both. So,
HCF (2193, 2949)= 43
So maximum order of animals in each flock is 43.
Correct option is 1.
