Answer / anil
Ans. is 2519.
we have to multiply all numbers from 2-10 keeping aside
common number.
i.e.
2*3*4*5*7*3 = 2520
6 is left b'coz 2*3 is 6
9 = 3*3 hence, 3 is taken twice.
At last 2520-1.

Answer / sudhanshu_kmr
According to the question when the number is divided by 2,3,..10 leaves remainder 1,2,...9 respectively. It means that if we increase the that number by 1 then it is divisible by each of the numbers 2,3,..10.
So, find a number that is common divisor of 2,3,4,...and 10.
And subtract 1 from it.
LCM of 2,3,..10 is 2520.
2520-1 = 2519
thus, 2519 is the required number.......

100 Gold Coins Five pirates have obtained 100 gold coins and have to divide up the loot. The pirates are all extremely intelligent, treacherous and selfish (especially the captain). The captain always proposes a distribution of the loot. All pirates vote on the proposal, and if half the crew or more go "Aye", the loot is divided as proposed, as no pirate would be willing to take on the captain without superior force on their side. If the captain fails to obtain support of at least half his crew (which includes himself), he faces a mutiny, and all pirates will turn against him and make him walk the plank. The pirates start over again with the next senior pirate as captain. What is the maximum number of coins the captain can keep without risking his life?
