Explanation / Answer

THERE COULD BE MULTIPLE SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM BUT THIS CODE RETURNS ONE WITH HIGHEST NUMBER OF LARGE BAGS

CODE (C language)

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
printf("Enter total number of large bags : ");
int largeBags;
scanf("%d",&largeBags);
printf("Enter total number of small bags : ");
int smallBags;
scanf("%d",&smallBags);
printf("Enter order size: ");
int orderSize;
scanf("%d",&orderSize);
int noOfLargeBags=orderSize/5;
int noOfSmallBags=orderSize-(5*noOfLargeBags);
if(noOfLargeBags>largeBags)
{
noOfSmallBags=noOfSmallBags+((noOfLargeBags-largeBags)*5);
if(noOfSmallBags>smallBags){printf(" Order cannot be placed");return 0;}

}
printf("Order can be made by using %d large bags and %d small bags",noOfLargeBags,noOfSmallBags);
return 0;
}

SAMPLE OUTPUT

Enter total number of large bags : 2
Enter total number of small bags : 5
Enter order size: 7
Order can be made by using 1 large bags and 2 small bags
