Answer:
He lost 5 coconuts.
Step-by-step explanation:
When he divides the number left among 3 and 5 people the remainder is 2 in each case so the number that each person gets must be 15 or a multiple of 15.
So if x is the number left when he reaches home, then:
2 = x mod 3 and
2 = x mod 5
where x = 15 + 2 = 17 or 30 + 2 = 32 or 45 + 2 = 47.
But we also must satisfy 3 = x mod 4
If x = 17:
17 mod 4 = 1 so its not 17.
32 mod 4 = 0 so it's not 32.
47 mod 4 = 3 so x = 47.
Therefore the number he lost = 52 - 47 = 5.

Answer: There are 12 white and blue cars more than silver and red cars
Number of white cars: n1=25
Number of blue cars: n2=17
Number of white and blue cars: n3=n1+n2=25+17→n3=42
Number of silver cars: n4=21
Number of red cars: n5=9
Number of silver and red cars: n6=n4+n5=21+9→n6=30
How many more white and blue cars are there than silver and red cars?
n=?
n=n3-n6=42-30→n=12
Answer: There are 12 white and blue cars more than silver and red cars.
