Given : X, Y and Z collect stamps. They exchange stamps among themselves according to the following scheme: X gives Y as many stamps Y has and Z as many stamps as Z has.

After that, Y gives Z and X  as many stamps as each of  them has, and then Z gives X and Y as many stamps as each has.  

each finally has 64 stamps,  

To Find : how many stamps does X start

Solution:

Lets go reverse :

At end  Z gives X and Y as many stamps as each has.

finally  Each has 64 stamps

=>  Before that  X  and Y  had 32 stamps  so that 32 + 32 = 64

and Z had  = 64 + (32 + 32)  =  128

Z = 128    X  = 32  ,  Y  =  32

Before that  Y gives Z and X  stamps as they have

so  Z   = 128/2 = 64   and   X  = 32/2  = 16

and Y had  =  32  + (64  + 16)   =  112

Hence

X  = 16  ,  Y = 112   Z   = 64

Before that   X gives Y as many stamps Y has and Z as many stamps as Z has

=>  y = 112/2 = 56  , Z  = 64/2  = 32

X  = 16  + 56  +   32  =  104

X = 104  , Y  = 56   , Z  =  32

X starts with 104

X               Y             Z

104           56           32

16             112           64

32             32            128

64              64            64
