Let ‘N’ is the smallest number which divided by 13 and 16 leaves respective remainders of 2 and 5.
Required number = (LCM of 13 and 16) – (common difference of divisors and remainders)
= (208) – (11) = 197.

600

speed = 72 Kmph
Speed= 72 * 1000 / (60*60) m/s
speed= 72 * 5 / 18
speed= 20 m/s
time = 30 s
distance = 600 m

A whole number

Let the firt number be n,
The largest number will be n+1
Their sum
n+n+1=55
2n+1=55
2n=54
n=27
Largest number =27+1=28

Let the number of males be given the name M.
Let the number of females be given the name F.
If 15 females are absent, then M will be twice that of
present females.
This means that M = 2 * (F – 15)
M = 2 * F – 30.
or 2 * F – M = 30.
Now if in addition to the 15 females being absent, we also
have 45 males being absent,
then this gives the equation,
(F – 15) = 5 * (M – 45)
which simplifies to
F – 15 = 5 * M – 225
5 * M – F = 210
Pulling the equations together, we get
5 * M – F = 210
-M + 2 * F = 30
Multiply the first equation by 2, and keep the second
equation as is.
10 * M – 2 * F = 420
– M + 2 * F = 30
Add the equations.
9 * M = 450
M = 50
Verify answer.
Calculate F
from – M + 2 * F = 30
-50 + 2 * F = 30
2 * F = 30 + 50
F = 40.
If 15 females are absent, then number of males will be twice
that of females.
40 – 15 = 25.
50 = 2 * 25. Confirmed.
If also 45 males were absent, then female strength would be
5 times that of males.
Female strength is 25 due to the 15 females being absent.
50 – 45 = 5.
25 = 5 * 5. Confirmed.
