gold coins!
Answers
Answer:
The first gatekeeper thought that the king would give 100 gold coins to Birbal as a prize. The first gatekeeper demanded
110 of the prize that he would get from the king. So, number of gold coins that would be received by first gatekeeper = 100 ÷ 10 = 10
The second gatekeeper demanded
25 of the prize that Birbal would receive from the king. One-fifth of 100 = 100 ÷ 5 = 20
So, number of gold coins that would be received by second gatekeeper = 20 × 2 = 40
The third gatekeeper demanded half of the prize that Birbal would receive from the king. So, number of gold coins that would be received by third gatekeeper = 100 ÷ 2 = 50
After listening to his poems, the king became happy. Then, Birbal requested the king to give him 100 slaps as a prize.
Hence, the third gatekeeper got 50 slaps, second gatekeeper got 40 slaps, and the first gatekeeper got 10 slaps. The poet got 0 slaps.
