Answer:

3 groups of 21 cars and 4 groups of 21 trucks

Explanation:

In this case, what we must do is find the largest common divisor since this would be the answer to the question. So:

LCD (63, 84), in this case it is 21.

63/21 = 3

84/21 = 4

He could have 3 groups of 21 cars and 4 groups of 21 trucks.
