Answer Posted / guest
The man drunk 190oz of water.
It is given that the man has 20oz bottle of sprite. Also, he
will drink 1oz on the first day and refill the bottle with
water, will drink 2oz on the second day and refill the
bottle, will drink 3oz on the third day and refill the
bottle, and so on till 20th day. Thus at the end of 20 days,
he must have drunk (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + ..... +18 + 19 + 20) =
210oz of liquid.
Out of that 210oz, 20oz is the sprite which he had
initially. Hence, he must have drunk 190oz of water.
