magician. The ponds are magical and when we put flower in
it, it will double them.
The magician to test his assistant sets this task. The
assistant has to pluck some flowers from the rose plant and
put them all in the first pond, then when they double he
has to take a few flowers from the first pond and put them
all in the second pond, and they are doubled in the second

the third which will be doubled.

with him and neither can he put fresh flowers in to second
or third pond.

many are transfered from first to second and second to
third pond?
Answer Posted / vilas
in the question no where mentioned about we need to wait for
one day to double flowers. double of flowers happen
immediately.
so assistant pluck 7 flowers and put it in 1st pond, it will
become 14. Take 6 from the 1st pond(8 will be left in pond)
and put it in 2nd pond. It will become 12. Take 4(8 will be
in 2nd pond) and put it in 3rd and it will become 8.
