Problem Analysis

The problem describes a situation where shrimps arrived and settled on coral branches. It states that if there is one shrimp on each branch, there won't be enough branches for all the shrimps. However, if there are two shrimps on each branch, one of the branches will be left without any shrimps. The task is to determine the number of shrimps and the number of branches.

Solution

Let's denote the number of shrimps as S and the number of branches as B. We can set up the following equations based on the given information: 1. If there is one shrimp on each branch, there won't be enough branches for all the shrimps: S > B 2. If there are two shrimps on each branch, one of the branches will be left without any shrimps: 2B - S = 0

Solving the Equations

We can solve these equations to find the values of S and B.

Result

By solving the given equations, we find that there were 3 shrimps and 2 branches.

So, the solution to the problem is: - Number of shrimps: 3 - Number of branches: 2
