Calculation:
Let the number of Aircraft, Lamborghini and Bentley bought by Ambani be x, y, and z respectively.
According to the question:
x + y + z = 30 ----(i)
8x + 3y + 4z = 136 ----(ii)
From (ii) – (i) × 4, we get
4x – y = 16 ----(iii)
From (iii)
When y = 0 then x = 4
∴ z = (30 – 4 - 0)
⇒ z = 26
The other solutions are obtained by adding 1 repeatedly to x.
When x = 5 then y = 4
∴ z = (30 – 5 - 4)
⇒ z = 21
When x = 6 then y = 8
∴ z = (30 – 6 - 8)
⇒ z = 16
When x = 7 then y = 12
∴ z = (30 – 7 - 12)
⇒ z = 11
When x = 8 then y = 16
∴ z = (30 – 8 - 16)
⇒ z = 6
When x = 9 then y = 20
∴ z = (30 – 9 - 20)
⇒ z = 1
When x = 10 then y = 34
∴ z = (30 – 10 - 34)
⇒ z = -14
This is not possible.

Since he bought at least one of each thing and one more Lamborghini than Bentley.
So, 4th combination is the right combination.
No. of Aircrafts = 7 ; No. of Lamborghinis = 12 ; No. of Bentleys = 11
Ambani bought 7 Aircraft.
