Basic Simplification Quiz Set 002

Let there be N coins of each denomination. Then N × (1 + 5 + 10) = 368, which gives N = $368/16$, and 3N = 3 × $368/16$ = 69.

The maximum occurs when the value of |x - 6| is the lowest, which is 0, so the maximum value is 31.

The maximum occurs when the value of |x - 9| is the lowest, which is 0, so the maximum value is 46.

Let there be N coins of each denomination. Then N × (1 + 5 + 10) = 496, which gives N = $496/16$, and 3N = 3 × $496/16$ = 93.

We have to find $46{2/5}$ - $10{2/23}$, which is same as ${232/5}$ - ${232/23}$ = 232 × ${23 - 5}/{23 × 5}$ = ${4176/115}$. So ${4176/115}$, which is same as: $36{36/115}$ is the required answer.
