You are going to an orchard to pluck oranges.


The orchard has 6 gates chronologically.

And each gate has a guard.

The first guard strike a deal that you will give him half of the oranges u are goin to pluck before you pass while returning.

So did the other guards strike the same deal with u individually.

On your return, you settle all the guards and left with 4 oranges.

1.HOW MANY ORANGES DID YOU PLUCKED?

2. Which guard got the highest number of oranges?

Tip: All Guards CANNOT get the same number of oranges.

Goodluck!

The total number of orange plucked X:
X=64*4=256

All guards got equal oranges(1/2) based of the terms of their agreement...the number of orange got by one guard is independent of the other.
