Detailed Solution

Given that two bags of fertiliser weigh 75 kg and 69 kg, respectively

Maximum weight = HCF of the weight of two bags, (75, 69)

Using prime factorization, 
75 = 3 × 5 × 5
69 = 3 × 23

Therefore, HCF = 3

Therefore, 3 kg is the maximum weight that can calculate the weight of the fertiliser an exact number of times.
