Question

The sum of the digits of the number of positive integral solutions satisfying the equation x1+x2+x3y1+y2=77

Difficult
Solution

x1+x2+x3y1+y2=11×7 or 7×11

 In the first case, x1+x2+x3=11 and y1+y2=7, which have 

 10C26C1 solutions 

 In the second case, x1+x2+x3=7 and y1+y2=11, which 

 have 6C210C1 solutions 

  Total number of solutions =10C26C1+6C210C1

                                                        =270+150=420
