Question

A man goes to three temples for "darshan", after crossing three rivers. All the
three rivers have a special feature. As soon as a man steps into the river, the
flowers in his hands are doubled. (In other words, if a man has 2 flowers, they
increase to 4 flowers). The man starts for the "darshan" with a certain number of
flowers. At every temple, he offers the same number of flowers to God. After he
offers flowers at the third end and the last temple, he does not have any flower
left with him. With how many flowers did the man start for the "darshan"? How
many flowers did he originally have, and how many did he offer in each of the
three temples?​

Answer 2

Answer:

He originally had 3 flowers.

Explanation:

• After stepping into the river, the number of flowers is doubled, so the 3 flowers turn into 6 flowers
• The man offers an equal number of flowers at each temple
• The man goes to 3 temples in total
• At the last temple, he has no flowers left, so all flowers should be used up
• Since he now has 6 flowers, he offers 2 in each of the 3 temples as 6/3 = 2
• After offering 2 in each temple, he has offered all flowers and has no more flowers left.

The man started with 3 flowers and he offered 2 in each temple.
