Once every day of the week, except Sunday, the personal assistant of the Education Minister took delivery of sealed envelopes of money from the minister personally at his office to deliver to the minister’s lady-friend at her residence. It was also known from a secret source that for two fixed days of a week he delivered a certain number of envelopes less than the previous day, and for three fixed days a week, he delivered the same number of envelopes (as mentioned in the previous line) more than the previous day. However, it was not possible to get information as to what those days were. This practice continued for exactly twenty-seven consecutive days from the first Monday of delivery. From high-definition telescopic photographs of the envelopes, it was surely concluded that each envelope held a hundred crisp two thousand rupee notes. It was also known from the secret source that every week the greatest and least number of envelopes that the personal assistant delivered was eighty and twenty respectively. Mr Mishra took the help of a professional data interpreter to analyze the collected data and to provide the ED Department with an idea of the details and enormity of the scam. What would be the answers found out by the data-interpreter to the following questions asked to him by Mr Mishra?
Question: What could be the lowest possible quantum of the total delivery of money from the Education Minister’s office to the residence of his lady-friend, by the personal assistant of the minister?
