Four friends - Arjan, Bhuvan, Guran and Lakha were
comparing the number of sheep that they owned.
It was found that Guran had ten more sheep than Lakha.
If Arjan gave one-third to Bhuvan, and Bhuvan gave a
quarter of what he then held to Guran, who then passed on a
fifth of his holding to Lakha, they would all have an equal
number of sheep.
How many sheep did each of them possess? Give the minimal
possible answer
Answer Posted / ranjith naidu
simple
let us consider each of them have x sheep
guran now has 10 more than lakha=10+x
and arjun gave 1/3rd to bhuvan
that is bhuvan have sheep=1/3x+x
another condition is
all of them have equl sheep
then equalise above two equtions
then
10+x=1/3x+x
then x=30.
