A man fills a basket with eggs in such a way that the number of eggs added on each successive day is the same as the number already present in the basket. This way the basket gets completely filled in 24 days. After how many days the basket was 1/4th full ? Correct Answer 22

Given:

The number of egg added to the basket is equal to the number of egg already present in the basket

Calculation:

Let for first day man put one egg and after that next day he put another one egg.

Total egg after two days = 2

Next day he put 2 another egg and so on.

Like way after 23th days the basket is half egg and last day man put another Half basket egg and he can full it.

Similar way For 22nd day basket should be 1/4th full and then added 1/4th egg next day so it will become half of bucket.

So,  After 22 days the basket was 1/4th full.

∴ After 22 days he basket was 1/4th full.
