15. A number of cats got
together and decided to kill between them 999919 mice. Every cat killed an
equal number of mice. Each cat killed more mice than there were cats. How many
cats do you think there were?
Ans: 991.
It’s a simple trial and error method.
Ans: 991.
It’s a simple trial and error method.
Let us assume the number of mice
killed as 10,00,000. Since each cat killed equal number of mice there should
1000 cats and each cat would have killed 1000 mice. But, this is contrary to
the information that each cat killed more number of mice than the number of
cats.
The total mice killed were
999919. This is 81 less than our assumed figure of 10,00,000. Since each cat
killed an equal number of mice, there should be 9 cats less than our figure of
1000 cats. Thus we have the number of cats as 991 and each cat killed 1009 mice
which is more than the number of cats.

17. A man ate 100 bananas in five days, each day eating 6 more than the previous day. How many bananas did he eat on the first day?
Ans: Eight.
Let ‘x’ be the number of
bananas he ate on the first day. Then we have the following information.
Day 1 he ate x
bananas
Day 2 he hate x + 6 bananas
Day 3 he hate x + 12 bananas
Day 4 he hate x + 18 bananas
Day 5 he hate x + 24 bananas
Thus is 5 days he
hate 5x + 60 bananas.
In 5 days he hate totally 100
bananas.
Hence, we have an
equation 5x + 60 =100 solving we get
the value for x as 8.
He ate 8 bananas on the first
day.
