Dear All,

Please solve this:

Mr. X has gone to Temple A, B.C. These temples have a magic pond in each. It will become thrice the thing you have in your hand when you come out of the pond. (e.g. if you have Rs.1/- in your hand, when you come out of the pond, you will have Rs.3/- in your hand).

Mr. X has a certain number of flowers. The terms and conditions of this quiz are that you have to surrender an equal number of flowers to each temple, and when you come out of Temple C, no flowers should be in your hand.

Please find out how many flowers Mr. X was having with him when he entered Temple A and how many flowers he surrendered at each temple.

Regards,
Asha

Mr. X enters Temple A with 13 flowers in hand. He offered 9 flowers to Temple A. After offering 9, he was left with 4 flowers, which then became 12 by the magic pond. Subsequently, 9 flowers were offered to Temple B, leaving him with 3 flowers, which again became 9 (three times the original number of flowers). Finally, he offered 9 flowers to the last temple, Temple C, with no flowers in his hand.

Based on the user input provided, here is the corrected version:

Ans is 7. When he enters the first pond, it will become 14. He will devote 8, leaving him with 6. In the second round, it will be 12, and after devoting 8 again, he will have 4 remaining. In the third pond, it will become 8, and he will devote all.

Actually, it will not become thrice; twice is the correct question. Only then will the answer be as expected.

At first, Mr. X went with 7 flowers to the first pond. It became 14 as he put 8 flowers to the god and came back with 6 flowers. Then, on the 2nd pond, it became 12 as he put 8 flowers to the 2nd god. He had 4 in his hand, which became 8 when he entered the 3rd pond. Now it's 8, and he put it to the 3rd god, returning without any flowers.

Actually, this is the scenario. I don't know about thrice.

The answer is 3.

Mr. X visited temple A with 39 flowers, and when he came out of the pond, he got 39 * 3 = 117. He offered 81 flowers at temple A and proceeded to temple B with the remaining 36 flowers. The pattern continued as follows:

Temple Pond Offered
A 39 * 3 = 117 81
B 36 * 3 = 108 81
C 27 * 3 = 81 81

Nothing. In the story, the terms and conditions state that "you" have to give an equal number of flowers to each temple. In fact, the "you" refers to the reader of the story. If Mr. X is visiting the temple, how can he have flowers in his hand to give to the temple? Also, the reader, here "it's me, Anitha," doesn't have any flowers to give to the temple, nor does Mr. X have any flowers to give.

Hi friends,

Mr. X will enter with 13 flowers initially and put 27 flowers in the temple. To meking123: If the question is double, then the answer is the initial number is 7 and put 8 flowers in the temple. But my question is thrice.

Thanks,
