There are a certain number of tins that are filled with milk from a machine. If the machine fills at the
rate of 5 tins/min, 3 tins are left empty; at the rate of 8 tins/min, 5 tins are left empty and the rate of 7
tins/min, 4 tins are left empty. In this setup it is possible to have N different number of tins. Find N,
ginve that (100 <N< 1000). There is no leakage or wastage of milk and the machine can work only
for integral number of minutes.
A. 133
B. 293
LC. 613

Given
A certain number of tins that are filled with milk from a machine
To find
We have to find N , where N is the number of tins
Solution
We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process.
Here, the machine fills at the rate of 5 tins/min, 3 tins are left empty; at the rate of 8 tins/min, 5 tins are left empty and and the rate of 7 tins/min, 4 tins are left empty.
Using CRT
5A+3=8B+5
5A = 8B + 2, B = 1 and A = 2 , the AP is of the form 40 K + 13
⇒40K + 13 = 7C + 4
⇒7C = 40K+9
⇒7c = 5K + 2
⇒ K=1 and C=7. The AP is of the form 53+280N
Hence, three digit numbers possible in this AP are 53 + 280 = 333 ,
53 + 2(280) = 613 and 53 + 3(280) = 893.
