A person gives a secret to two other persons in 5 minutes How long will he take to tell the

In 1st 5 min -->> 3 ppl (1+2)
in nxt 5 min these ppl will tel 6 other ppl.
so aftr 10 min total nmbr of ppl 3+6=9.
nw these 9 ppl nw tell secert to 18 other ppl.
so aftr 15 min total; nmbe of ppl 9+18=27.
so guys evry 5 min the nmbr of ppl gets tripled.
5min--> 3
10 min--> 9
15--> 27
20-->81
25 min--> 243
30 min-->729
35-->729*3
the required value
so 35 min will be sufficient.
