Now, A = B + 3 and A = C - 3.
Thus, B + 3 = C - 3 ⟺ D + 3 = C-3 ⟺ C - D = 6.
x + y = 80 ...(i) and
4x + 2y = 200 or 2x + y = 100 ...(ii)
Solving (i) and (ii), we get) x = 20, y = 60.
A = B - 3 ...(i)
D + 5 = E ...(ii)
A+C = 2E ...(iii)
B + D = A+C = 2E ...(iv)
A+B + C + D + E=150 ...(v)
From (iii), (iv) and (v), we get: 5E = 150 or E = 30.
Putting E = 30 in (ii), we get: D = 25.
Putting E = 30 and D = 25 in (iv), we get: B = 35.
Putting B = 35 in (i), we get: A = 32.
Putting A = 32 and E = 30 in (iii), we get: C = 28.
Then, number of legs = 4x + 2 x (x/2) = 5x.
So, 5X = 70 or x = 14.
i.e. numbers of the form (8n + 1).
Since 1994 = 249 x 8 + 2, so 1993 shall correspond to the thumb and 1994 to the index finger.
Similarly, number of sparrows + number of ducks = 6 and number of sparrows + number of pigeons = 6.
This is possible when there are 3 sparrows, 3 pigeons and 3 ducks i.e. 9 birds in all.
Three ducks can be arranged as shown above to satisfy all the three given conditions.
Then, (25x + 8) - 22 is divisible by 28
⟺ (25x - 14) is divisible by 28 ⟺ 28x - (3x + 14) is divisible by 28
⟺ (3x + 14) is divisible by 28 ⟺ x = 14.
Therefore Total number of sweets = (25 x 14 + 8) = 358.
