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:- the ratio of white balls to black balls is 1:2. if 9 balls are added then the ratio of the balls become 2:4:3. find the number of black balls.
A. 12
B. 6
C. 9
D. none
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 12:04:25:

these are question tht are seem to be like it consumes
time. so dont see jus the question and run to the next .
ans. a) 12
if 9 balls are added then the ratio to the combination
becomes 2:4:3.
9 balls make the ratio 3 for grey balls in tht mixture.
so the factor is 9/3 = 3 (in tht mixture)
so the same factor has to be maintained through out the
ratio. so black balls is 4 * 3 = 12 and white balls is 2 *
3 = 6.

Recent Answer : Added by DK BOSS On 2021-07-21 15:26:06:

Answer: z and u

Explanation:

Y is to the right of U and exactly in front of V. Therefore,

U Y
V

Z is behind W and W and X are at extreme ends. So, W has to be to the right of Y. The final arrangement is as follows.
U Y W
X V Z Therefore, Z and U are at extreme ends is true.

Recent Answer : Added by Muhammed Nasser Abdelnabi On 2022-10-09 06:56:17:

A = B + 2
B = 2 C
A + B + C = 27
C = 27 – A – B
B = 2*27 – 2A – 2B
2A = 2*27 – 3B
-2*A =-2*2 – 2*B
B = 10

Ques:- A,B and C needs 8, 12 and 16 days respectively to finish a task. How many days will it take if A works for 2 days then B works on it until 25% of the job is left for C to do, and C completes the work?
Recent Answer : Added by Deven Sharma On 2023-05-31 18:36:37:

To solve this problem, we can break it down into steps:

Step 1: Determine the individual rates of work for A, B, and C.

If A needs 8 days to finish the task, then their work rate is 1/8 of the task per day.
If B needs 12 days to finish the task, then their work rate is 1/12 of the task per day.
If C needs 16 days to finish the task, then their work rate is 1/16 of the task per day.

Step 2: Calculate the combined work rate of A and B.

If A works for 2 days, their contribution will be 2 * (1/8) = 1/4 of the task completed.
If B works until 25% of the job is left for C, then they will complete 75% of the task.

Step 3: Calculate the time it takes for B to complete 75% of the task.

Since B’s work rate is 1/12 of the task per day, it will take B (75%)/(1/12) = 9 days to complete 75% of the task.

Step 4: Calculate the remaining work for C.

If B completes 75% of the task, then the remaining work for C is 100% – 75% = 25% of the task.

Step 5: Calculate the time it takes for C to complete the remaining work.

Since C’s work rate is 1/16 of the task per day, it will take C (25%)/(1/16) = 4 days to complete the remaining 25% of the task.

Step 6: Calculate the total time required.

A worked for 2 days, B worked for 9 days, and C worked for 4 days, totaling 2 + 9 + 4 = 15 days.

Therefore, it will take a total of 15 days for A to work for 2 days, B to work until 25% of the job is left, and C to complete the remaining work.

Ques:- Every year an amount increases by 1/8th of itself. How much will it be after two years if its present value is Rs.64000?
Recent Answer : Added by Shailendra Gurjar On 2022-09-28 17:42:47:

₹1 today increases to (1+1/8) = 9/8 after 1year.

After 2 years it increases to 9/8 of 9/8 = (9/8)^2 =81/64 times.

Hence ₹64000 increase to 64000×81/64 =₹81000
