Question

A man fills a basket with eggs in such a way that the number of eggs added on each successive day is the same as the number already present in the basket. This way the basket gets completely filled in 24 days. After how many days the basket was 1 / 4th full?

Answer 1

To fill the basket 1/4th he will need 22 days

On 24th day the basket is full hance on 23rd day the basket is half full or half empty so on 22nd day the basket is 1/4th full

hence the required answer is 22 days

Answer 2

After 22 days the basket was ${\frac{1}{4} }^{th}$ full.

Given:

A man fills a basket with eggs in such a way that the number of eggs added on each successive day is the same as the number already present in the basket.

This way the basket gets completely filled in 24 days.

To find:

After how many days the basket was ${\frac{1}{4} }^{th}$ full.

Explanation:

Let for first day man put one egg and after that next day he put another one egg total egg after two days = 2 next day he put 2 another egg and so on.

Like way after twenty third days the basket is half egg and last day man put another Half basket egg and he can full it.

Similar way For $22^n^d$ basket should be  ${\frac{1}{4} }^{th}$ full and then added   ${\frac{1}{4} }^{th}$ egg next day so it will become half of bucket.

So,  After 22 days the basket was ${\frac{1}{4} }^{th}$ full.
