Answer / mayank

Let a gives x mangoes to D
Then x=x/4 + 1
==> x=4/3

So, 4/3 amount remaining after C transaction
,Let "m" no of mangoes remaining before C transaction then
m/3+1 no. of mangoes given to C and 4/3 remaining for D transaction
so, m=m/3 + 1 + 4/3
m=7/2


So, 7/2 amount remaining after B transaction
,Let "o" no of mangoes remaining before B transaction then
o/2+1 no. of mangoes given to B and 7/2 remaining for C transaction
so, o=o/2 + 1 + 7/2
o=9

so initially A was having 9 mangoes

9 mangoes. No Complete number is possible. Because at last
2/3rd is 1.

Answer / paul

The answer is 9 mangoes.

let y be the total/original no. of mangoes
b be the remaining mangoes after gave to B
c be the remaining mangoes after gave to C
d be the remaining mangoes after gave to D

equations:

b = y - 0.5y - 1
= 0.5y - 1

c = b - (1/3)b - 1
= (2/3)b - 1

d = c - (1/4)c - 1
= (3/4)c - 1

but d = 0, thus,

c = 4/3
b = 7/2
y = 9 mangoes -> answer

Answer / suraj

let no. of mangoes A has=x
Now, he gives 1/2 of x plus 1 to B.
So, A is left with (1/2ofx-1)=(x-2)/2
Now, he gives 1/3 of the remaining plus 1 to C.
Therefore C has (x-2)/2
------- + 1
3
So, A has 2*(x-2)/2 x-5
------- - 1 = ------
3 3
Now, he gives 1/4 of the remaining plus 1 to D.
Therefore A has 3*(x-5)/3 x - 9
-------- - 1 = --------
4 4
So, A is left with zero mangoes
=> (x-9)/4 = 0
=> x = 9
therefore A had 9 mangoes in the beginning.

Answer / nagicaj

Initially A has x
Now A gives B: x/2+1
So A has x/2-1 = (x-2)/2
Now A gives C: ((x-2)/2)/3+1
So A has ((x-2)/2)/3-1 = (x-8)/6
Now A gives D: ((x-8)/6)/4+1
So A has ((x-8)/6)/4-1=0
Solving the above x = 32 mangoes.

Answer / kalpana singh

let no. of mangoes A has=x
Now, he gives 1/2 of x plus 1 to B.
So, A is left with (1/2ofx-1)=(x-2)/2
Now, he gives 1/3 of the remaining plus 1 to C.
Therefore C has (x-2)/2
------- + 1
3
So, A has (x-2)/2 x-8
------- - 1 = ------
3 6
Now, he gives 1/4 of the remaining plus 1 to D.
Therefore D has (x-8)/6 x - 17
-------- + 1 = --------
4 24
So, A is left with zero mangoes
=> all the mangoes are with D
=> (x-17)/24 = 0
=> x = 17
therefore A had 17n the beginning.

Karan bought a little box of midget matches, each one inch in length. He found that he could arrange them all in the form of a triangle whose area was just as many square inches as there were matches. He then used up six of the matches, and found that with the remainder he could again construct another triangle whose area was just as many square inches as there were matches. And using another six matches he could again do precisely the same. How many matches were there in the box originally? Note that the match-box can hold maximum of 50 matches.
