Answer 1

Answer:

301

Step-by-step explanation:

As per given scenario, we need to find a number that is;

Gives a remainder of 1 when divided by 2

Gives a remainder of 1 when divided by 3

Gives a remainder of 1 when divided by 4

Gives a remainder of 1 when divided by 5

Gives a remainder of 1 when divided by 6

Gives a remainder of zero when divided by 7

Given this, the correct number is 301. It is completely divisble by 7 but gives a remainder of one when divided by 2, 3, 4,5 and 6

Answer 2

There are 301 Coconuts.

◆The number of coconuts should remain 1 as remainder , when divided by 2,3,4,5,6 . And it should be a multiple of 7.

◆For satisfying the former condition , LCM of 2,3,4,5,6 is 60.

◆The number of coconuts should be multiple of LCM, 60 and 7 added to 1.

◆By trial and error method , the least number to satisfy the condition is,

◆300 + 1 = 301. 301 number of coconuts.
