Question

From a number of apples, a man sells half the number of existing apples plus 1 to the first customer, sells 1/3rd of the remaining apples plus 1 to the second customer and 1/5th of the remaining apples plus 1 to the third customer. He finds that he has 3 apples left. How many apples did he have originally?​

Answer 1

Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

let the originally apple are 14

Then he Sell apple to First customer=  14 /2+1=8

Then remaining apple =14-8=6

Then he Sell apple to second  customer=  6 /2+1=4

Then remaining apple =8-4=2

And  he Sell apple to third customer=  2 /2 +1=2

Then total apple sell=8+4+2=14

Then remaining apple =14-14=0

This is as per question

Then answer is 14
