Question

a total of 110 adults are standing in a queue for concert tickets,there are at least 3 women and 2 men.what is the greatest possible number of men in the queue

Answer 1

Answer:

think you are referring to largest number of men.

The largest men if we arrange as

MwwwMwwwMww

So the M will be in position 1,5,9 and repeated till before or including 110.

We see that the pattern repeated is Mwww, for every 4 people.

Hence 110÷4 gives 27r2. So the number of men will be 27 +1 as the last group will have one more man. The ans is 28 man.
