A greengrocer was selling apple at a penny each, chickoos at 2 for a penny and peanuts at 3
for a penny. A father spent 7p and got the same amount of each type of fruit for each of his three
children. What did each child get?

• Ans: 1 2 1
  A father spent 7p
  Each child gets 1 apple=Father spent 3p on 3 apples.
  Remaining 4p.
  Suppose each child gets 2 chickoos=Father spent 3p on 6 chickoos
  Remaining 1p
  Now if each child gets 1 peanut=Father spent 1p on 3 peanuts

• 1 Apple =----> 1 penny
  2 chickoos --> 1 penny==> 1 chickoo = 0.5 penny
  3 peanuts ---> 1 penny==? 1 peanut = 0.33 penny
  Father spent 7 penny, it means he spent 2.33 penny on his each child
  By observation of the cost of the fruits, we can conclude as
  (father shares 1 apple+ 2 chickoos + 3 peanuts for each child)

• solved it on my own 1apple 2chikoos 1peanut..
  
  simply its sum into 3 will give 7..i.e (1/1 + 2/2 +1/3)* 3(as each one is getting the same) that will give 7 which is the money that the father had

• 1 penny peanuts
  3 penny chikoos
  3 penny for apples
  
  Each child got
  
  1 apple 1 peanut 2 chikoos

• 3 apples for 3 penny
  6 chickoos for 3 penny
  3 peanuts for 1 penny
  so each child can have 1 apple,2 chickoos,1 peanut

• sp of 1 apple=rs.1
  sp of 2 chikoos=rs.1 sp of 1 chikoo=1/2
  sp of 3 peanuts=rs.1 sp of 1 peanut= 1/3
  1+1/2+1/3=11/6

• Solution ==>
  1 apple + 2 chickoos + 1 peanut for every children.
  now the cost of 3 apples =3*1 = 3penny
  cost of 6 chickoos = 6/2 = 3penny
  cost of 3 peanuts = 1 penny
  total =7p

• Its 1 apples, 2 chickoos & 1 peanut.
  Suppose initially for 1 penny he buys 3 peanuts and gibes 1 to each.(money left: 7-1=6)
  next in order to distribute chickoos equally among 3, he needs atleast 6 chickoos, as each will get 2. (money left:6-3=3)
  now with the leftover rs. 3, he will get an apple for each.
