.A greengrocer was seling apple at a penny each, chickoos at 2 for a penny and peanuts at 3 for a
penny. A father spent 7 pennies and got the same amount of each type of fruit for each of his three
children. What did each child get?
(a) 1 apple, 2 chickoos, 2 peanuts (c) 1 apple, 3 chickoos, 2 peanuts
(b) 1 apple, 2 chickoos, 1 peanut (d) 1 apple, 1 chickoo, 1 peanut

• 1 apple costs 1 penny = 3 apple for 3 pennies,
  2 chickoos cost one penny = 3 kids * 2 chickoos each for 3 pennies
  3 peanuts cost one penny ===> 3 peanuts from the balance penny
  spending 7 pennies and giving each child 1 apple, 2 chickoos and 1 peanut each

• ans is b
  3 child so min he should have to buy 3 apples which will cost him 3 penny
  now 4 penny remained..so he could buy 8 chikoos oy 12 peanuts by this,but 8 is not divided equally with 3
  so he must buy 6 chikoos ,whichwill cost 3 penny to distribute among 3 children
  1penny remained by which he will buy 3 peanuts to distribute among his 3 children
