A person distributes his pens among four friends A, B, C, and D in the ratio 1/3 : 1/4 : 1/5 : 1/6.

What is the minimum number of pens the person should have?

Final Answer:

n =  57

Step-by-step explanation:

3 ...  prime number 4=22 5 ...  prime number 6=23 LCM(3,4,5,6)=2235=60  d=LCM(3,4,5,6)=60  d1=d/3=60/3=20 d2=d/4=60/4=15 d3=d/5=60/5=12 d4=d/6=60/6=10  r = d1:d2:d3:d4 r = 20:15:12:10  n=d1+d2+d3+d4=20+15+12+10=57
