As basket became empty after you gave oranges to your sister, you must be having 1 orange before it.
Now you must be having 3 oranges before you came to your dad(as you gave 1.5 + 0.5 oranges to him)
Similarly you must be having 7 oranges before you came to your mom(as you gave 3.5 + 0.5 oranges to her)
Now you must be having 3 oranges before you came to your dad(as you gave 1.5 + 0.5 oranges to him)
Similarly you must be having 7 oranges before you came to your mom(as you gave 3.5 + 0.5 oranges to her)
