One way to solve it is by making 3 equations and solve them
simultaneously. But there is rather easier way to solve it
using Backtracing.
It's given that at the end, each had 24 tractors (24, 24,
24) i.e. after Z gave tractors to X & Y as many as they
had. It means that after getting tractors from Z their
tractors got doubled. So before Z gave them tractors, they
had 12 tractors each and Z had 48 tractors. (12, 12, 48)
Similarly, before Y gave tractors to X & Z, they had 6 & 24
tractors respectively and Y had 42 tractors i.e. (6, 42,
24)
Again, before X gave tractors to Y & Z, they had 21 & 12
tractors respectively and X had 39 tractors i.e. (39, 21,
12)
Hence, initially X had 39 tractors, Y had 21 tractors and Z
had 12 tractors.

At the entrance to a members club stands a stranger seeking admission. A friend told him that it's easy to get in. You just have to answer a question corrcetly! Answering wrong, however, will result in being shot! To live a little longer, the man waits in a back alley near the entrance for people to go in. After a while a man comes to the entrance. The door warden asks him: "Twelve?" to which he replies "Six!" and goes in. "That's easy." our friend thinks, but he waits a little longer. Another man comes to the door. "Six?" the door warden asks, to which he replies "Three!" and goes in. "That's too good to be true" our friend thinks, and he was right. Because, when asked "Four?", he answered "Two!" and was found dead in the alley. What was the correct answer?
