Solution :
Consider the numbers
from the set
such that
but
. We define the first group as
and call
an “extra” number. By the same way, we consider numbers
such that
but
and we define the second group
and call
an “extra” number. We continue this process and define 8
groups and 8 “extra” numbers. Since the sum of all “extra” numbers and all
numbers from 8 groups exceeds 15×8
= 120 the sum of all remaining numbers is less than 135 – 120 = 15 and we put
all remaining numbers into one group. Finally 8 “extra” numbers we divide into
two groups each including 4 “extra” numbers (4×3.5
< 15) and get 8 + 1 + 2 = 11 groups.
