no of baloons is 45 ,,,, x%2=1, x%5=0 , x%6=3.... that says no is odd and last digit is 5 ... going tru 5 multiples .. on 45 ... 45%2=1 , 45%5=0 snd 45%6=3...

Answer is 75
75-(37*2)=1,75-(15*5)=0 and 75-(12*6)=3
Just need to check that the no of balloons chosen at a time is multiplied by a no that gives a value to its nearest multiple and subtract it from the answer to give the no of balloons remaining.Here all the 3 conditions are fulfilled.
