The most critical is the third number which is
a prime number. The prime numbers from
1 to 60 are the following: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17
19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53 and 59.
But the 2nd
=
number is twice the third, only
the numbers 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29
can be used. So, the 3rd number is 10 ways.
Once the third number is chosen, the 2nd
number is twice its value. So 2nd number is
1 way only. Since no repeatation, the 1st and
4th number are 58 and 57 respectively.

Subtracting exacly 2: 210 240 300 108,
exactly 3 will be left tripled.

97. Ans: II and III only

Suppose the four tables are W, X, Y and Z.
Since the question asks which must be true,
we can quickly break statement I with a
counterexample. Let tables W, X and Y have
15 flowers each; then table Z has 16
flowers, and no table has 13 or fewer
flowers. We cannot break statement II and
III. So, II and III must be true.

All is well.
