@Sivaviknesh: The smallest values of x and y are 1. The largest value of y is (60 - 3) / 4 = 14. Solve for x: x = (60 - 4y) / 3. Since x is an integer, 60 - 4y must be a multiple of 3. Since 60 - 3y is a multiple of 3, (60 - 4y) - (60 - 3y) = y must be a multiple of 3. Thus, y = 3, 6, 9, 12. Then you can solve for the corresponding values of x.
