After giving coins to 5th son, divided the remaining coins among five daughters equally.All should get full coins. Find the minimum number of coins he has?

Answer: 3121 gold coins
Let total no of coins be M
Let the disbursement D to each son:

D1 = 1 + (M – 1)/5 = (M + 4)/5
D2 = 1 + ( M – D1 -1)/5 = (D1) * 4/5
D3= (D2) * 4/5
D4= (D3) * 4/5
D5= (D4) * 4/5
Total disbursements to sons=
= ∑D= (M+4)*1/5[ 1+4/5+(4/5)(4/5)+ (4/5)(4/5)(4/5)+(4/5)(4/5)(4/5)(4/5) ]
= (2101/3125)*(M+4)
Thus balance left for daughters =M-{(2101/3125)*(M+4)}
=(1024M-8404)/3125
This balance should be a positive integer ( assuming M and all disbursements are full coins )
Thus 1024M-8404 should be a multiple of 3125….so….
1024M – 8404 = N*3125 where N is an integer
Using Python code:
n=int(input(“Enter num n: “))
X=int()
a=int()
a=0
X=’ ‘
for a in range(0,n+1):
a=a+1
X= (3125*a + 8404)/1024
if (3125*a + 8404)% 1024== 0:
print(X,a)
Enter num n: 10000
3121.0 1020
6246.0 2044
9371.0 3068
12496.0 4092
15621.0 5116
18746.0 6140
21871.0 7164
24996.0 8188
28121.0 9212
We get minimum value of N = 1021 and M = 3121 gold coins

Ques:- There is a 50m long army platoon marching ahead. The last person in the platoon wants to give a letter to the first person leading the platoon. So while the platoon is marching he runs ahead, reaches the first person and hands over the letter to him and without stopping he runs and comes back to his original position. In the mean time the whole platoon has moved ahead by 50m. The question is how much distance did the last person cover in that time. Assuming that he ran the whole distance with uniform speed.
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 12:00:37:

The last person covered 120.71 meters.
It is given that the platoon and the last person moved with
uniform speed. Also, they both moved for the identical
amount of time. Hence, the ratio of the distance they
covered – while person moving forward and backword – are
equal.
Let’s assume that when the last person reached the first
person, the platoon moved X meters forward.
Thus, while moving forward the last person moved (50+X)
meters whereas the platoon moved X meters.
Similarly, while moving back the last person moved [50-(50-
X)] X meters whereas the platoon moved (50-X) meters.
Now, as the ratios are equal,
(50+X)/X = X/(50-X)
(50+X)*(50-X) = X*X
Solving, X=35.355 meters
Thus, total distance covered by the last person
= (50+X) + X
= 2*X + 50
= 2*(35.355) + 50
= 120.71 meters
Note that at first glance, one might think that the total
distance covered by the last person is 100 meters, as he
ran the total lenght of the platoon (50 meters) twice.
TRUE, but that’s the relative distance covered by the last
person i.e. assuming that the platoon is stationary.

Ques:- The following question asked at Infosys campus recruitment held at Pragathi. If 1>= y > x and xy=z.which of the following is not true? i)z>0 ii)x=z iii)y=z iv)z>y
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 12:01:07:

1>=y>x => y belongs to (-infinity,1]
x belongs to (-infinity,y)
if both x and y are negitive z can be greater than zero and
can be greater than y(1 and 4 are true)
if y equals 1 then x can be equal to z(2 is true)
therefore y=z is not true for any value of x and y

Ques:- A train speeds past a pole in 15 seconds and a platform 100 m long in 25 seconds.What is Its length ?
Recent Answer : Added by Satwick On 2021-10-28 16:06:12:

Let’s say, length of train = x metres
Speed at pole = Speed at platform
x/15 = 100+x / 25
5x = 300 + 3x
2x = 300
x = 150m
So, train is 150 metres long.
