3 man had collected 65 apples by visiting different tress. At tree 1 the collected some apples. At tree 2 they had 3 times the apple that they collected in tree 1. At tree 3 they had 5 times the no of apples when they reach there. At tree 4 they could collect only 5 apples. What was the no of apples they had in tree 1

• At tree 1: x
  At tree 2: 3x
  At tree 3: 5(3x+x)
  At tree 4: 20x + 5
  20x+5=65
  x=3
  Ans is 3.

• lets first tree had:- x
  upto second tree they had= 3x
  upto third tree they had=5*3x
  upto fourth tree they had = 5*3x+5
  so, 5*3*x+5=65
  x=4 which is the first tree apple;

• At tree1 : x apples
  At tree2 : 3x
  At tree3: 5x
  At tree4: 5
  If at tree4 there are 5 apples means at tree 3 have 60 apples so
  5x=60
  x=12
  At tree1 they had 12 apples

• Y u didn't add x and 3x @inder pal Singh we hv to equate x+3x+20x+5 =60

• at 1st tree - x
  at second tree - y
  x+y=3x .......eq 1
  y=2x............eq2
  at third tree - z (eq1 * 5)
  x+2x+z=15x
  z=12x
  x+y+z = 60
  x+2x+12x 60
  x=4
