Ques:- If second no is twice the first no and first no is thrice the third no.Their avg is 20.Find the greatest no?
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 12:01:46:

let the third no be x ,
then the first no is 3x ,
second no is 2*3x ie 6x
average is (3x+6x+x )/3 = 20
10x/3 = 20
x= 60/10 = 6
third no is 6 , second is 6x = 36, first no is 3x = 18

Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 11:59:42:

Friends,
The Answer given by ‘Gaurav Sharma’ is correct and
the approach (bottom to top) suggested by ‘Shailesh’ is
good. But with minor correction we can arrive the solution
using this approach:
After 5th loot, No. of breads left = 3
after 4th loot, no. of breads left = (3+0.5)x2 = 7
after 3rd loot, no. of breads left = (7+0.5)x2 = 15
after 2nd loot, no. of breads left = (15+0.5)x2 = 31
after 1st loot, no. of breads left = (31+0.5)x2 = 63
So, before 1st loot, no. of breads left = (63+0.5)x2 = 127
