but answer is not 149​

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 119

119=2×59+1

119=3×37+2

119=4×29+3

119=5×23+4

119=6×19+5

119=7×17+0

Answer 2

Answer:

Let eggs=x

When divided by 2,3,4,5 and 6, the remainder is always one less than the divisor

Thus, x is one less than LCM(2,3,4,5,6) OR one less than a multiple of the same.

Thus, x is one less than LCM(2,3,4,5,6) OR one less than a multiple of the same.

LCM=60

now,

x= (60-1) OR (120-1) OR (180-1)

60-1= 59

NOT divisible by 7

120-1=119

Maybe x= 119

180-1= 179

Cannot be over 150.

We can safely conclude that x= 119

The trader was carrying 119 eggs.
