HEY SWEETHEART

HERE IS YOUR ANSWER

Let radha has total x flowers

She offers x/2 flowers at the 1st temple. 

After visiting the 1st temple she has (x-x/2)=x/2 flowers.

She offers x/4 flowers at the 2nd temple.

Then (x/2-x/4)=x/4 flowers left.

Lastly she offers x/8 flower at 3rd temple.

Then she has (x/4-x/8)=x/8 flowers.

∴, x/8=3

or, x=24 flowers Ans.
