1. We need to find the greatest common divisor. IT might be 36. We check : 36/36 =1 , 72/36 = 2, 144/36 = 4
So the greatest number of students who can receive fruit is 36 (each student gets 1,2,4 fruits respectively)

2. Hmm...I'm sorta confused about this question...are the 48 members in the rows along with the 300 members?
