A banana plantation is located next to a desert. The
plantation owner has 3000 bananas that he wants to transport
to the market by camel, across a 1000 kilometre stretch of
desert. The owner has only one camel, which carries a
maximum of 1000 bananas at any moment in time, and eats one
banana every kilometre it travels. What is the largest
number of bananas that can be delivered at the market?

Answer Posted / sumedh

0, as camel eats 1 banana per KM. camel can carry max 1000
bananas. market is 1000KM away so camel eats 1*1000=1000
bananas. on each trip he will carry 0 banana at the market.

to come back from market to desert owner has to buy 1000
bananas for camel.

so it requires 6000 bananas for 3 trips.
