Answer:

Possible lengths of the silk fibre 'x' are 100, 75, 60, 50 and 30 yards respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the silk fiber = x yards.

Let the number of silk fibres = a.

It is given that the silk fibers between 3 to 10 yards are combined to form a silk thread of 300 yards.

So, we get the equation,

ax=300, where 3\leq a\leq 10

i.e. x=\frac{300}{a}, 3\leq a\leq 10

So, the possible values of 'a' are 3, 4, 5, 6 an 10.

Thus, the possible lengths of the silk fibre 'x' are 100, 75, 60, 50 and 30 yards respectively.
