i think the number of temple is 3(n) and the value of flower we take first is X = 7 . and the flower which we put in temple Y is 8.
like i say first we take 7 after first pond it will 14 in which we give 8 in temple. with remaing 6 go to 2nd pond it become 12 again 8 will go to 2nd temple and finally with 4 flower enter in third pond ..so become 8 and we give all in last temple.. finally coming with no flower..

hey Shubham and Ankit we cannot assume n as 3 that is not question, there are n temples and n ponds solve like that and answers are also in terms of n(like equation) not the values.
in that answers if you substitute 3 you will get the answer, i want the answer in-terms of n.
