Q. Of 128 boxes of chocolates, each box cotains at least 120 and at most 144 chocolates. Find the least number of boxes containg the same number of chocolates.
there are 128 boxes
atleast 120 chocolates
at max--------->144 chocolates
therefore the range is 144-125(including both ) = 25
least number of boxes containing the same number of chocolates 128/25 = 5 + remainder 3(which can be divided into 3 other boxes)
hence the answer is 5....
ans must be 6...
