Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The number of cats must be a factor of 999919. Let c be the number of cats and m be mice per cat. We have c × m = 999919 and m > c. Testing 991: 999919 ÷ 991 = 1009, and 1009 > 991 satisfies the condition. 992 and 993 are not factors of 999919.

  3. Data Insufficient

  4. Cannot be determined
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Let N = Nepo's age, S = son's age, F = father's age. N = 3S, F = 2N + 40 = 6S + 40. Total: S + N + F = S + 3S + (6S + 40) = 10S + 40 = 1240. So 10S = 1200, S = 120. Therefore N = 3 × 120 = 360 years.
