If A,B,C are having some marbles with each of them. A has given B and C the same number of marbles each of them already have. Then, B gave C and A the same number of marbles they already have. Then C gave A and B the same number of marbles they already have. At the end A, B, and C have equal number of marbles. If x,y,z are the marbles initially with A,B,C respectively. Then the number of marbles B have at the end
(a) 2(x-y-z)
(b) 4(x-y-z)
(c) 2(3y-x-z)
(d) (x+y-z)

- Let they have x, y and z respectively.
x-y-z , 2y, 2z [1st transaction]
2(x-y-z), 2y-(x-y-z)-(2z), 4z [2nd transaction]
2(x-y-z), 3y-x-z, 4z [2nd transaction]
4(x-y-z), 2(3y-x-z), 4z-(2x-2y-2z)- (3y-x-z) [3rd transaction]
4(x-y-z), 2(3y-x-z), 7z-x-y [3rd transaction]
B has 2(3y-x-z) at the end of the transaction - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(62) No(2)

INITIALLY X Y Z
A gives B & C X-Y-Z 2Y 2Z
B gives C & A 2(X-Y-Z) 2Y-(X-Y-Z)-2Z 4Z
C gives A & B 4(X-Y-Z) 2(2Y-(X-Y-Z)-2Z) {4Z-2(X-Y-Z)
-(2Y-(X-Y-Z)-2Z)}

- going in reverse order
A B C
a a a
a/2 a/2 2a
a/4 7a/4 a
13a/8 7a/8 4a/8
which is x y z
