There are total 11 boxes containing different numbers of balls and each
number of balls contain the digit ‘5’
Let k be the greatest possible number of balls in a box
=>k ≤ 555−5−15−25−35−45−50−51−52−53−54=170
=>k=165

Supppose that Alex was born in 20 ab
Then, we have 2017−2000−10. a−b=2+a+ b
¿>15=11. a+ b
¿> a=1 , b=2
=>He was born in 2011
Supppose that Alex’s mother was born in 19 cd
Then, we have 2017−1900−10. c−d=1+9+ c+ d
¿>107=11. c +d
¿> a=9 ,b=4
