Answer:
The 29th cave has 28 bats.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that any 7 caves in a row contain 77 bats.
So, out of the 30 caves, let us start counting from the second cave till the 29th cave(counting 28 caves).
7 times 4 gives us 28, which has bats. We have not counted the first and last cave.
Let the number of bats in the last cave be , then according to the question:
(First cave has 7 times more bats than the last cave)
Hence, (number of bats in the 30th cave)
Now we shall again count, but this time from the first cave, leaving out the last 2 caves. So the total number of bats in the first 28 caves is 308 and 32 in the last 2 caves.
So, the number of bats in the 29th cave = 32 - 4 = 28
