Given : Exactly one third of the staff bring one child each
One day each male employee planted 13 trees,
each female employee planted 10 trees
and each child planted 6 trees.
A total of 159 trees were planted.
To Find : How many women employees are there
Solution:
Let say Men = M
and Women = W
Child = (M + W)/3
M + W must be divisible by 3
13M + 10W + 6(M + W)/3 = 159
=> 15M + 12W = 159
=> 5M + 4W = 53
=> M = 53 - 4W - 4M
=> M = 4(13 - W - M) + 1
=> M = 4K + 1
M = 1 , 5 , 9 , 13
Try each
5(1) + 4W = 53 => W = 12
1 + 12 = 13 is not Divisible by 3
5(5) + 4W = 53 => W = 7
5 + 7 = 12 Divisible by 3
M = 5 , W = 7 and Child = 4
M = 9
=> 5(9) + 4W = 53 => W = 2
9 + 2 = 11 is not Divisible by 3
Hence Total 7 Women employees are there
