Question

I have 2 vats each counting 2 mats. 2 cats sat on each of the mats. Each cat wore 2 funny old hats. On each hat lay 2 thin rats. On each rat perched 2 black bats. How many things are in my vats?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of vats = 2

Number of mats in 1 vat = 2

⇒ Number of mats in 2 vats = 2 × 2 = 4

Number of cats on 1 mat = 2

⇒ Number of cats on 4 mats = 4 × 2 = 8

Number of funny old hat with 1cat = 2

⇒ Number of funny old hat with 8 cats = 8 × 2 = 16

Number of thin rat on 1 old hat = 2

⇒ Number of thin rat on 16 old hats = 16 × 2 = 32

Number of black bats on 1 rat = 2

⇒ Number of black bats on 32 rats = 32 × 2 = 64

Hence total things in vat = 64 + 32 + 16 + 8 + 4 + 2

= 126

Answer 2

Number of vats=2

Number of mats for 1 vat=2

Number of mats for two vats=2×2=4

Number of cats for 1 mat=2

Number of cats for 4 mat=4×2=8

Number of funny old hats for 1 cat=2

Number of funny old hats for 8 cat=8×2=16

Number of thin rats for 1 hat=2

Number of thin rats for 16 hat=16×2=32

Number of black bats for 1 rat=2

Number of black hats for 32 rats=32×2=64

So, total things in vats are-----

(2+4+8+16+32+64)=126
