Question

PLEASE EXPLAIN

TO BECOME BRAINLIEST

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let eggs=x

When divided by 2,3,4,5 and 6, remainder is always one less than 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 trader was carrying 119 eggs. Hope the Panchayat appreciates the help. (Though it came 3 years late)
