• ANSWER IS 9 VANS.....Each van can carry maximum 13 tonnes of load and there are 12 sealed boxes each having weight 9 tonnes...so total weight of all the boxes will be 12*9=108 tonnes.
  now 108/13=8.30 so there should be more than 8 vans required.....so 8 vans with full capacity and 1 van partially filled.....So ANSWER is 9 VANS.
