Three vessels upto their maximum capacity are filled with a mixture of water and milk. The ratio of milk and water in the three vessels are respectively 3 : 1; 5 : 3; and 3 : 5. The ratio of the capacities of the three vessels are respectively 2 : 3 : K. If the mixture in all the three vessels are mixed in another larger vessel then the ratio of milk and water is 21 : 19. Find the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of K^2, 2^K and 2K.
