Q.15 A trader with a basket of eggs finds that if he sells 3 eggs at a time there is only 1 egg let. If he sells 4
eggs at a time there is again 1 egg left. However if the trader sells 7 eggs at a time, there are no eggs
left. If the capacity of the basket is 100 eggs, find how many eggs are in the basket? Explain with
reasoning.
