Question

There are some lotus flowers in a pond and some bees are hovering around. If one bee lands on each flower one bee will be left. If two bees land on each flower, one flower will be left. Then the number of flowers and bees respectively are.

Answer 1

Hey there !!

Let 'x' be the no. of bees.

So, no. of flowers = ( x – 1 )

If the number of bees sitting on each flower is 2, then number of flowers will be ( x/2 + 1 )

x/2 + 1 = x – 1

( x + 2 ) / 2 = ( x – 1 )

x + 2 = 2 ( x – 1 )

x + 2 = 2x – 2

x – 2x = – 2 – 2

– x = – 4

x = 4

Thus, no. of bees is 4.
And no. of flowers is ( 4 – 1 ) i.e., 3
