What is the smallest number of seeds Sunita could have had?
A41
B31
C51
D61
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. 61
1. The number leaves one over when grouped in fours, fives and sixes.
2. So the number minus one must divide by 4, 5 and 6, and the smallest such number is 60.
3. So Sunita had 60 plus 1, which is 61 seeds.
