Answer Posted / abida hasan
soln:
no of breads initially=x
breads taken by first thief= x/2+1/2=(x+1)/2
remaining breads= x-((x+1)/2)=(x-1)/2
breads taken by second theif= ((x-1)/4)+1/2=(x+1)/4
remaining breads= x-((x+1)/4)=(x-1)/4
similarly,
remaining bread after third theif rob=(x-1)/8
remaining bread after forth theif rob=(x-1)/16
therefore,
(x-1)/16=3
x-1=48
x=49
