there are three temples,u have to offer flowers in all the three temples,condition is that a pond is there in front of all the three temples in before entering to temple you have to wash the flowers in the pond,when you wsh the flowers they will become double,you can purchase the flower only once,and u have to offer equal numbers of flowers in wll the three temples and finally you should have no flower remaining with you, question is how many flowers will you purchase???

• suppose you bought x flowers. you give y flowers to each temple.
  x
  aftr washng=2x, after givng remain=(2x-y) like that
  aftr washng=2*(2x-y) aftr givng remain=(4x-2y-y)
  aftr washng=2*(4x-3y) aftr givng remain=(8x-6y-y)=(8x-7y)
  8x-7y=0
  x:y=7:8
  so you bought 7 flowers and give 8 to each.

• The flower become twice and there are 3 temples
  we have to offer equal no of flower to each temple so no of flower we offer to each temple= 2^3 = 8
  
  So no of flower we buy 8-1=7

• Ans is : 1
  
  Consider flowers to be x
  
  After offering to First temple: 2x-y
  After offering to Second temple: 4x-2y -z
  After offering to Third temple: 8x-4y-2z-k=0
  Now y=z=k also 2x-y=4x-2y-z
  so x=1

• 2(2(2X-40)-40)-40=0
  
  which gives x=35 .

• in these types of question. you may use simple logic .
  consider the no. of temple = y;and amount of doubling =x:
  then , no. of flower bought = (x^y )-1.
  and no. of flower distributed in each temple = x^y.
  for this question , x=2 and y= 3.
  so, no. of flower distributed in each temple = 2^3=8.
  the no. of flower bought = 2^3-1=7.

• We will purchase 7 flowers
  
  Explanation -
  There are three temple we will have to wash the flowers three time
  
  1st Wash-

  Total flowers= 7+7 = 14 (Double )
  1st Temple - Offering 8 Flowers
  Total flowers= 14-8=6 (remains)
  
  2nd Wash-
  Washing flowers in pond
  Total flowers =6+6=12 (Double)
  2nd Temple - Offering 8 flowers
  Total flowers= 12-8=4 (remains)
