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

Ques:- Two pipes X and Y can separately fill a cistern in 18 and 24 hours respectively. If they are turned on alternately for one hour each, how long will it take to fill the cistern?
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2022-09-28 17:08:06:

X filling rate is 1/18 or 4/72 per hour

Y filling rate is 1/24 or 3/72 per hour

Combined as a pair it’s 7/72 in a complete 2 hour alternating sequence

72+ 7/72 =10 sequences = 70/72 on 20 hours, The outstanding balance is just 2/72

So at 20.5 hours with X turn filling is 100% complete with 72/72

Answer: It will take 20.5 hours to completely fill this tank.

Analysis of measured filling process, from X = 42/72 share & from Y = 30/72 share

Ques:- A man gets x/y of Rs.10 and y/x of Rs.10. He returns Rs.20. The Answer choices are a) He may not lose b) He may lose c) He always loses d) Cannot be Determined
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 12:02:08:

x and y can be equal to 1..
If so,then he gets 1/1 of Rs.10 which is equal to 10 and
again 1/1 of Rs.10=Rs.10..so,he gets total of 20..and
returns 20..so,no gain and no loss..
If x=1,y=2,he gets, 5+20=25..and returns 20..so he may not
lose..
So,whatever be the values of x and y,only these two answers
are possible..
so its a)He never loses..

Recent Answer : Added by Alisha Ravika Kar On 2022-08-14 16:43:27:

The number is greater than the number obtained in reversing the digits and the ten’s digit is greater than the unit’s digit
Let ten’s and unit’s digit be 2x and x respectively
Then, (10×2x+x)−(10x+2x)=36
9x=36
x=4
Required difference=(2x+x)−(2x−x)=2x=8
