Problem statement: An intelligent trader travels from 1 place to another carrying 3 sacks having 30 coconuts each. No sack can hold more than 30 coconuts. On the way he passes through 30 checkpoints and on each checkpoint he has to give 1 coconut for each sack he is carrying. Maximum how many coconuts he can save when he reaches last check point ? Ans: He will be left with 25 coconuts in 1 sack
First 10 checkpoints = 30 coconuts. Thus, finishing his first sack.
Next 15 checkpoints = 30 coconuts. Thus, finishing his second sack.
Last 5 checkpoints = 5 coconuts. Thus, he still has 25 coconuts in his last sack
