if we divide a no. by 5 we get remainder=2 so, no can be 5x+2 if we divide this no. by 7 we get remainder=3 so,(5x+2)=7y+3 so, x=(7y+1)/5 & y can be 2,7 & x can be 3,10 if we divide no by 8 we get remainder=4 5x+2=8z+4 so,above value of x shoud satisfy this condition z=(5x-2)/8 so only x=10 satisfies 3rd condition. so x=10 & no=[52]
Answer questions on the basis of the information given below:
A class of 30 students comprises of boys who can play Cricket, Hockey and Football. 3 boys play only Cricket, 3 boys play only Hockey and 2 play only Football. 4 Boys could play all three games, while 11 could play Football and Cricket, and 10 boys could play football and Hockey.
How many boys played cricket and hockey but not football?
plz explain or give any shortcut method.
let football= F, cricket=C,hockey=H only H=3,only C =3, only F=2, as given F+C+H=4, now the total player who can play C+F=11, so the players who can play only C+F= 11-4=7. similarly, the players who can play only F+H=10-4=6. but we are given given total 30 players so the players who can play onlyC+H=30-(3+3+4+6+7+2)= 5. solved
In a survey of 100 students it was found that 50 used the college library, 40 had their own library and 30 borrowed books. Of these 20 used both the library and their own, 15 used their own library and borrowed books and 10 used the college library and borrowed books. How many students used all the three sources of books?
i feel, it’s a lenghty method. Can we have some other shortcut method?
give us a shortcut to solve the prb.! thnk u!

On dividing a number successively by 5,7,8, the remainder obtained2,3,4 respectively
So, the number will be of the form: 5(7(8X+4)+3)+2
The question asks for what will be the remainder when the same number is divided successively by 8,7,5 ?
