Find the real integral solution of [x]+[5x]+[10x]+[20x]=36K+35, kϵinteger where [] denotes the greatest integer function.

Solution

Since [x] stands for greatest integer function, let us assume, [x]=x, that is x is an integer.
Then
[x]+[5x]+[10x]+[20x]=36k+35
x+5x+10x+20x=36k+35
36x=36k+35
x=k+3536
Now 3536 is not an integer.
Hence
x=k+3536 is not an integer.
This contradicts our initial assumption.
Hence not solution is possible.
