There is fuel scarcity and Ejiro has successfully broken into a warehouse containing 14kegs all filled with fuel.
Six of these kegs contain kerosene and the rest contain petrol.
Each keg contains five liters of fuel and is completely sealed.
If all the kegs are identical with no way of identifying which contains petrol or kerosene,
What is the minimum number of kegs that Ejiro must steal for him to be certain that he has at least 10litres of kerosene in his possession?

Six contain kerosene.
Eight contain petrol.

Each holds 5 liters of fuel. You need 2 containers of kerosene to get 10 liters .


Without knowing what keg contains which fuel, you would have to consider that eight kegs contain petrol. So you take 8 kegs from the bunch.
If all eight are indeed petrol, then the rest would be kerosene. You simply pick another two kegs.. Either way, you'd get at least 10 liters of kerosene.
Therefore, minimum number of kegs you'd need to select would be 10..

1)by sitting on a crate

3)using one of the laws of indices
x0 =x1-1 or x2-2=
x1/x1(any number divided by itself is 1)hence ans is 1
