For school children a software was designed.In that software one monkey has to choose balloons. If a monkey chooses 2 at a time and continues picking then 1 baloon is left. If it picks 5 at a time then the remaining is zero,if it picks 6 at a time then remaining is 3. What is the minimum number of balloons?

• Ans is 15.
  6+6+6+3=15
  5+5+5=15
  2+2+2+2+2+2+2+1=15

• no of baloons is 45 ,,,, x%2=1, x%5=0 , x%6=3.... that says no is odd and last digit is 5 ... going tru 5 multiples .. on 45 ... 45%2=1 , 45%5=0 snd 45%6=3...
  thus 45 baloons

• Answer is 75
  75-(37*2)=1,75-(15*5)=0 and 75-(12*6)=3
  Just need to check that the no of balloons chosen at a time is multiplied by a no that gives a value to its nearest multiple and subtract it from the answer to give the no of balloons remaining.Here all the 3 conditions are fulfilled.

• Ans is 15...
• 13 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(2)
• Ans is 15....
  from given condition
  start with second condition taken 5 at a time , if we take 10 =total then all other condition is not verified, so take 15=total no. of balloons...
