settle on two flowers, one bee will be left out. When they settle on three flowers, two bees will be
left out. When they settle on four flowers, three bees will be left out. Similarly, when they settle on
five flowers, no bee will be left out. If there are at most fifty bees, how many bees are there in the
swarm?

Answer 1

Answer:

When bees settle down in two flowers = 1 left out

When bees settle down in three flowers= 2 left out

When bees settle down in four flowers= 3 left out

When bees settle down in five flowers= 0 left out

So how many bees are there is fifty flowers are there.

as no bees is left out when settled on 5 flowers , this shows that the number of bees is a multiple of 5.

So fifty flowers× five each sitting on them.

50×5= 250

The number of bees is 250
