1) Consider two tumblers, the first containing Water and next contains coffee. Suppose you take one spoon of water out of the first tumbler and pour it into the second tumbler. After moving you take one spoon of the mixture from the second tumbler and pour it back into the first tumbler . Which one of the following statement holds now?
a) There is less coffee in the first tumbler than water in the second tumblers
b) There is more coffee in the firs tumbler than water in the second tumbler
c) There is as much coffee in the first tumbler as there is water in the second tumbler
d)None of the statements holds true

• According to me the answer option should be (c)
  Reason :
  Let there be 100 ml of water and 100 ml of coffee initially .
  wc = water content
  cc = coffee content
  
  First tumbler Second Tumbler
  wc cc wc cc
  initially 100 0 0 100
  after 1 move 99 0 1 100
  
  1 spoon of second tumbler now contain 1/101 water and 100/101 of coffee
  
  after second move
  
  First tumbler Second Tumbler
  wc cc wc cc
  after second move 99+1/101 100/101 1-1/101 100-100/101
  = 10000/101 100/101 100/101 10000/101
  
  So answer option (c) ..

• 1st trumbler
  w=10 c=0
  2nd trumbler
  w=0 c=10
  After 1st mooving
  1st trumbler
  w=9 c=0
  2nd trumbler
  w=1 c=10
  during moving mixture from 2nd one to 1st one
  one spn contain w=1/11,c=10/11
  1st trumbler
  w=(9+1/11)=100/11
  c=10/11*****
  2nd trumbler
  w=(1-1/11)=10/11*****
  c=10-10/11=100/11
  So ans is 'c'

• pls anyone explain ans with logic

• initially, 1st tumbler--> W
  2nd tumbler--> C
  
  secondly, 1st tumbler--> W-w
  2nd tumbler--> C+w
  
  thirdly, 1st tumbler--> (W-w)+(c+w)=>W+c
  2nd tumbler--> (C+w)-(c+w)=>C-c
  
  therefore,ans is c) there is as much cofee in the first tumbler as there is water in the second..
