Answer:
12 bats
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us number the bat caves from 1 to 45 and divide them into 5 parts:
a) 1
b) 2 to 29 ([tex]7\times 4=28[/tex] bats)
c) 30
d) 31 to 44 ([tex]7\times2=14[/tex] bats)
e) 45
It is given that any 7 caves in a row has 77 bats. Hence, the total number of bats in part b and d = [tex](4\times77)+(2\times77)=462[/tex] bats.
There remains [tex](490-462)=28[/tex] bats in cave number 1, 30 and 45.
Now, our question demands the maximum possible number of bats in cave 30.
Minimum number of bats in a cave is 2. So we shall put 2 bats in the last cave, which gives us [tex]7\times2=14[/tex] bats in the first cave.
Therefore, the number of bats in cave number 30 = [tex](28-2-14)=12[/tex] bats.
