Question

How many integral solutions are there to the system of equations

x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 + x5 = 20 and x1 + x2 + x3 = 5 when xk ≥ 0?

Solution

Correct option is

336

We have x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 + x5 = 20 and x1 + x2 + x3 = 5

These two equations reduce to

      x4 + x5 = 15      …(i)     and,    x1 + x2 + x3 = 5       …(ii)

Since corresponding to each solution of (i) there are solutions of equation (ii). So, total number of solution of the given system of equations.

              = No. of solutions of (i) × No. of solution of (ii)
