Question

Rasool, the man who delivers eggs to my home everyday, did not turn up one day. So when he
came the next morning I demanded an explanation from him. He told me the following story:
The previous morning when he just came out of the house carrying a basketful of eggs on his head
to start his daily rounds and stepped on to the street, a car going at full speed brushed against him
and knocked down his basket destroying all the eggs. The driver, however, a thorough gentleman
admitted his responsibility and offered to compensate him for damages. But Rasool could not re
member the exact number of eggs he had, but he estimated the number between 50 to 100. He
was also able to tell the gentleman that if the eggs were counted by 2's and 3's at a time, 3 would
remain, and that he sold the eggs 50 paise a piece.​
