The least possible number of coins Pirate Jack has, is 81 coins.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

When the coins are divided into 7 equal piles, 4 coins are left.

When the coins are divided into 11 equal piles, 4 coins are left.

We will take LCM of both 7 and 11.

7 = 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70, 77, ....

11 = 11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88, ...

The least common multiple of 7 and 11 is 77.

As 4 coins are left, therefore, we will add those coins.

Total possible coins = 77+4 = 81

The least possible number of coins Pirate Jack has, is 81 coins.

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

64.3 lumens

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Length of the testing chamber = 35 cm

Light at one end = 10 lumens

Light at other end = 200 lumens

now,

since the variation is linear,

therefore, the gradient of the variation

= \frac{200-10}{35}

= 5.43

also,

the darkest end is the end with 10 lumens

therefore,

The lumens at 10 cm from the darkest end

= 10 + 5.43(10)

= 10 + 54.3

= 64.3 lumens
