Answer:
3 kg
Step-by-step explanation:
given data
weights bag1 = 45 kg
weights bag2 = 63 kg
solution
we will take here first HCF of 75 and 69
factor of 75 = 3 × 5 × 5
factor of 69 = 3 × 23
so here HCF of 75 and 69 = 3
so that here maximum weight required, to measure the weight of rice exact 3 times
so correct option is 3. 3 kg
Answer:
4. 9 kg
Step-by-step explanation:
The greatest common factor of 45 kg and 63 kg is 9 kg.
45 = 9×5
63 = 9×7
A 9 kg weight could be used to weigh these amounts exactly.

Comment on the problem statement
Appropriate formatting is helpful. It is difficult to tell that your answer choices are not 1.6, 2.35, 3.3, and 4.9. None of those makes any sense. With minimal formatting effort, you could list them as ...
1. 6 kg
2. 35 kg
3. 3 kg
4. 9 kg
Even better, the choices could be identified using letters and/or a separator other than a decimal point: A) 6 kg, B) 35 kg, and so on. The idea is to make it very clear what the numbers of the choices are. Less confusion is better.
