Answer:

You were the 35th caller.

Step-by-step explanation:

For one minute, every 5th caller will win a music player and every 7th caller will win concert tickets.

If you were just the first caller to win both a music player and concert tickets, that means we need to find a least number which is divisible by both 5 and 7.

Actually we will find the LCM(Least common multiple) of 5 and 7.

$5=1*5\\ \\ 7=1*7\\ \\ So, LCM = 1*5*7=35$

That means, you were the 35th caller.
