avg sal of 3 is $950
first person earns=$1150
second person earns=$650
let thirdperson =x
avg=(1150+650+x)/3
950*3=1800+x
x=2850-1800
x=$1050

Answer: 3121 gold coins
Let total no of coins be M
Let the disbursement D to each son:

D1 = 1 + (M – 1)/5 = (M + 4)/5
D2 = 1 + ( M – D1 -1)/5 = (D1) * 4/5
D3= (D2) * 4/5
D4= (D3) * 4/5
D5= (D4) * 4/5
Total disbursements to sons=
= ∑D= (M+4)*1/5[ 1+4/5+(4/5)(4/5)+ (4/5)(4/5)(4/5)+(4/5)(4/5)(4/5)(4/5) ]
= (2101/3125)*(M+4)
Thus balance left for daughters =M-{(2101/3125)*(M+4)}
=(1024M-8404)/3125
This balance should be a positive integer ( assuming M and all disbursements are full coins )
Thus 1024M-8404 should be a multiple of 3125….so….
1024M – 8404 = N*3125 where N is an integer
Using Python code:
n=int(input(“Enter num n: “))
X=int()
a=int()
a=0
X=’ ‘
for a in range(0,n+1):
a=a+1
X= (3125*a + 8404)/1024
if (3125*a + 8404)% 1024== 0:
print(X,a)
Enter num n: 10000
3121.0 1020
6246.0 2044
9371.0 3068
12496.0 4092
15621.0 5116
18746.0 6140
21871.0 7164
24996.0 8188
28121.0 9212
We get minimum value of N = 1021 and M = 3121 gold coins

answer : 36 –Explaination:
X= Chickens
Y = Qty per day

X*Y*9= 12 *.9 *Y*30

x=36

the ratio of present age of x:y is 5:6
And,we have to find the present age of x.
so,the present age of X is definitely will be multiple of 5.
X=35
so,35 is the answer.
