Milton has only pennies, dimes, and nickels in a jar. The jar has at least 1 but no more than 4 pennies. If the jar has at least 1 nickel and 1 dime, which of the following could NOT be the total amount of money in the jar?
Choose the correct choice from the following.
A) 52  B) 56  C) 50  D) 48  E) 49
Let there be a pennies , b nickels and c dimes   so total amount can be 1+5b+10c cents to 4+5b+10c   as you can see the equation of total whenever divided by 5 would leave a remainder from 1 to 4 ( as pennies can only be from 1 to 4 and hence a is limited to values from 1 to 4)   So the total can never be divisible by 5 and hence only 50 that is c is the option which is divisible by 5.   so answer is 50
