just add 1 more elephant to it.so total is 18.now divide into half 18/2=9(1st saint gets).remaining is 9..1/3 of 9 is 3(2nd saint gets) and the 3rd saint gets 2 elephants.then take away the remaining 1 elephant which you added already

add 1 elephant to the list 17+1=18.
Now half of 18 is 9. So 9 elephant to 1st saint.
Again as per the next sentence "in total elephants only 2nd saint" one third of 18 is 6. So 6 elephants to 2nd saint
Now remaining=18-9-6=3, from which 2 to the third saint.
Now we are left with 3-2=1 elephant which was initially added.

First the 3rd saint takes two elephants...then remaining is 15...then second saint takes 1/3rd of 15 i.e 5 elephants...hence 10 elephants will be remaining...so the first saint takes half of them...the first saint will get 5 elephants
