Five burglars, A, B, C, D, and E, divide the loot, consisting of five identical gold bars and four identical diamonds. Let Ajk be the event that A got at least j gold bars and at most k diamonds. Let Bjk, Cjk denote analogous events for burglars B,C (e.g., B21 is the event that B got 2, 3, 4, or 5 gold bars and 0 or 1 diamond). Determine the number x of gold bars and the number y of diamonds received by E if the following events occur (if determination of x and/or y is impossible, give the range of values):
(i) (A20 ∪ B20 ∪ C20) ∩ D30. (ii) Ec 12. (iii) A23 ∩ B13 ∩ C13 ∩ D13. (iv) A23 ∪ B13 ∪
C13 ∪ D13.
