A transporter receives the same number of orders each day. Currently, he has some pending orders (backlog) to be shipped. If he uses 7 trucks, then at the end of the 4th day he can clear all the orders. Alternatively, if he uses only 3 trucks, then all the orders are cleared at the end of the 10th day. What is the minimum number of trucks required so that there will be no pending order at the end of the 5th day?

Correct Option: C
Let each truck carry 100 units.
2800 = 4n + e where, n = normal
3000 = 10n + e
| where, e = | ||
| pending |
| ∴ n = | ||
| 3 |
| e = | ||
| 3 |
| ⇒ 5 days → 500x = | + | ||
| 3 | 3 |
| ⇒ 500x = | ||
| 3 |
| ⇒ x = | ||
| 3 |
⇒ x > 5
Minimum possible = 6
