Answer: he had a total of Rs.1,46,900 in his pocket initially.
How? We should start from last temple here.
he offered Rs.100 while coming back so he must have offered Rs.100 to the god on 9th temple and offered Rs.100 while going up on the 9th temple. so he had Rs.300 before 9th temple.

similarly before 8th temple: (300+100)*2 + 100 = 900
similarly before 7th temple: (900+100)*2 + 100 = 2100
similarly before 6th temple: (2100+100)*2 + 100 = 4500, we had some error here in calculating, thanks to our readers for correcting us
similarly before 5th temple: (4500+100)*2 + 100 = 9300
similarly before 4th temple: (9300+100)*2 + 100 = 18900
similarly before 3rd temple: (18900+100)*2 + 100 = 38,100
similarly before 2nd temple: (38100+100)*2 + 100 = 76500
similarly before 1st temple: (76500+100)*2 + 100 = 153300

Beer bottles and friends

March 22, 2014 by puzzler 1 Comment

Number Puzzle #81
A box contains beer bottles if divided between 4 friends 4 bottles are balance and if divided between 5 friends 3 bottles are balance what will be the balance if divided between 7 friends the box contains minimum no of bottles.

Answer: There will be one extra bottle after dividing between 7 friends.
How?
Let’s say total number of beer bottles in box are x. then we can say

x = 4*m + 4, where m is integer greater than or equal to 0.
x = 5*n + 3, where n is integer greater than or equal to 0.

From above two eequations
4m+4 = 5n + 3 = x
=> 5n – 4m = 1, where m and n are integers greater or equal to 0.
For bottles to be minimum, lets assume m and n are 0
thus from above equation 0 = 1, which is not true, so they cant be both 0 at same time.

If you observe neither of them can be zero at a time, so Now lets take next case where m and n are 1.
5m -4n = 1
5 – 4 = 1
1 = 1, which is true
thus total number of bottles are 5+3 or 4 + 4, i.e. 8
and if divided between 7 friends, 1 bottle will be extra.
