LR QUESTION:
On his 37th birthday, Anil thought of buying 37 candles. But the shopkeeper told he had 5 type of candles. But not 37 candles in a same packet. With all type of combinations, he could not make 37. The combinations resulted in 20,27,36,41,49,24,31
I) So what can be the maximum no of candles in a packet?
II) What was the lowest no of candles in a packet?

• 19,16,8,6,1 gives all possible combinations:
  19+1=20,16+6=24,19+8=27,16+8+6+1=31,19+16+6=41 & 19+16+8+6=49
  So min no. of candles in a packet is 1 and max are 19.

• According to me the packets can have
  9,9,7,4,20 candles this satisfies all the constraints like 20,27,36,49,24,31 except 41.
  by this the maximum number of candles in a packet are 20
  and lowest number of candles in the packet are 4
