Explanation=
We have been the question as Jack caught 14 fish on Saturday and twice as much fish on Sunday. When he went fishing on Monday, he caught 1/2of the fish he caught on Saturday and Sunday combined. How many total fish did he catch all 3 days?
We know that on Saturday Jack caught 14 fish and given that we he catches twice on Sunday as of Saturday.
Sunday fish caught by Jack= 14*2 = 28 fish
Total fish in two days Saturday and Sunday= Saturday fish+ Sunday fish
=> 14 + 28 = 42 fish
We have been told that on Monday he catches half the total he caught on Saturday and Sunday.
Therefore total of Saturday and Sunday is 42 fish.
On Monday fish caught = 42/2 = 21 fish.
Saturday = 14 fish
Sunday = 28 fish
Monday = 21 fish
Total fish caught in 3 days = 14 + 28 + 21 = 63 fish
Therefore option a) 63 is correct.
