There r five boxes. In the first box we put some chocolates. Each box the number of choc is reduced by 1/4. The last box contains 4.Then the number of choc in the first box is

• 1024 chocolates in 1st box.
  
  choc reduced by 1/4.
  Total no. of box, n=5
  Formula to find no. of choc in 1st box = 4^n
  Last Box = 4 chocolates.
  That means, 4th box = 4*4 = 16 chocolates
  3rd box = 16*4 = 64 chocolates
  2nd box = 64*4 = 256 chocolates
  1st box = 256*4= 1024 chocolates.
