There is a safe with a 5 digit number as the key. The 4th digit is 4 greater than the second digit,..

Answer / guest

65292

As per given conditions, there are three possible
combinations for 2nd, 3rd and 4th digits. They are (3, 0, 7)
or (4, 1, 8) or (5, 2, 9)

It is given that there are 3 pairs whose sum is 11. All
possible pairs are (2, 9), (3, 8), (4, 7), (5, 6). Now
required number is 5 digit number and it contains 3 pairs of
11. So it must not be having 0 and 1 in it. Hence, the only
possible combination for 2nd, 3rd and 4th digits is (5, 2, 9)

Also, 1st digit is thrice the last digit. The possible
combinations are (3, 1), (6, 2) and (9, 3), out of which
only (6, 2) with (5, 2, 9) gives 3 pairs of 11. Hence, the
answer is 65292.

Answer / rajeswari

Step 1: Assign variables (x, y, z, a, b).
Step 2: Assign restrictions
x=3b
z=y-3
a=y+4

Assume that z+a is one of the pairs whose sum is 11.
y-3+y+4=11
2y+1=11
2y=10
y=5
z=2
a=9

Assume that x+y is one of the pairs whose sum is 11.
3b+5=11
3b=6
b=2
x=6

x=6
y=5
z=2
a=9
b=2

Check that three pairs equal 11. We already know that z+a=11 and x+y=11. Looking at our solutions we can also tell that a+b=11.

With all restrictions met, the 5 digit number is 65292.

A man is going to an Antique Car auction. All purchases must be paid for in cash. He goes to the bank and draws out $25,000. Since the man does not want to be seen carrying that much money, he places it in 15 evelopes numbered 1 through 15. Each envelope contains the least number of bills possible of any available US currency (i.e. no two tens in place of a twenty). At the auction he makes a successful bid of $8322 for a car. He hands the auctioneer envelopes number(s) 2, 8, and 14. After opening the envelopes the auctioneer finds exactly the right amount. How many ones did the auctioneer find in the envelopes?
