First person sent the mail to 2 persons. Those 2 sent the
mail to 2 persons each, total 4 persons. Now, those 4 person
sent mail to total 8 persons, then 8 to 16 persons, 16 to 32
persons and so on.... Hence, it a series of 2, 4, 8, 16, 32
upto 30 numbers
It is a Geometric series with common ratio 2 and first
number is also 2. Summation of such series is given by A *
(Rn - 1) / (R - 1) where
A = First term
R = Common Ratio
n = total numbers
So total number of times mail sent by the time it did 30 sets
= 2 * (230 - 1) / (2 - 1)
= 2 * (1073741824 - 1)
= 2 * 1073741823
= 2147483646

The son of a rich bullion merchant left home on the death of his father. All he had with him was a gold chain that consisted of 138 links. He rented a place in the city center with a shop at the lower level and an apartment at the upper level. He was required to pay every week one link of the gold chain as rent for the place. The landlady told him that she wanted one link of the gold chain at the end of one week, two gold links at the end of two weeks, three gold links at the end of three weeks and so on. The son realized that he had to cut the links of the gold chain to pay the weekly rent. If the son wished to rent the place for 138 weeks, what would be the minimum number of links he would need to cut?
