Answer 2

The smallest number of seeds Sunita had is 61

GIVEN:

Five, six, and four groups of seeds.

Number of seeds left out every time = 1

TO FIND:

The smallest number of seeds Sunita had.

SOLUTION:

We can simply solve the problem as under -

It is given that 3 groups of seeds were formed-

• One group has 4 seeds.
• One group has 5 seeds.
• one group having 6 seeds.

Number of seeds left out every time = 1

To find the smallest possible number of seeds, we need to take out the L.C.M of 4,5, and 6 and add 1 to it.

L.C.M of 4,5 and 6 =

$2|4 \: 5 \: 6$

$2 |2 \: 5 \: 3$

$3|1 \: 5 \: 1$

$5 |1 \: 1 \: 1$

LCM = 2×2×3×5

= 60

The smallest possible number of seeds Sunita had is 60+1 = 61
