Answer / aarti
If the Options are not given. You can derive the answer
like this:
Let the number of canaries = X
number of cages = Y
According to 1st condition: X = Y+1
2nd condition: X = 2(Y-1)
=> Y+1 = 2(Y-1)
=> Y = 3
=> X = 4
Answer is 4 canaries and 3 Cages

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?
