Answers
Answer:
6 days period ,1st hen lays 6 eggs
2nd hen lays 3 eggs
3rd hen lays 2 eggs
total egg s gather by Raghu is (6+3+2)=11
Given,
Total hens = 3
The hen 1 lays 1 egg every day
The hen 2 lays 1 egg every 2 days
The hen 3 lays 1 egg every 3 days
To Find,
The number of eggs produced in 6 days =?
Solution,
Time period = 6 days
Eggs laid by hen 1 in 1 day = 1
Eggs laid by hen 1 in 6 days = 1 * 6
Eggs laid by hen 1 in 6 days = 6 eggs
Eggs laid by hen 2 in 2 days = 1
Eggs laid by hen 2 in 6 days = (6/2) * 1
Eggs laid by hen 2 in 6 days = 3 eggs
Eggs laid by hen 3 in 3 days = 1
Eggs laid by hen 3 in 6 days = 1 *(6/3)
Eggs laid by hen 3 in 6 days = 2 eggs
Total eggs produced by hen 1, hen 2, and hen 3 in 6 days are 6,3 and 2 respectively.
Total egg produced = 6 + 3 + 2
Total egg produced = 11 eggs
Hence, Raghu would gather 11 eggs over a 6-day period. The last option is the correct answer.
