Answer:
119 oranges in basket
Step-by-step explanation:
Let oranges = 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 oranges
Answer:
119 Oranges
A basket contains Oranges it cannot accomandate more than 150 oranges. If it counted in pairs 1 will remain, if counted in threes 2 will remain, if counted in fours 3 will remain, if counted in five 4 will remain, if counted in six 5 will remain and if counted in seven 0 will remain. So,how many Oranges are there in basket?
Let Oranges=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.
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 basket contains 119 oranges.
