A man starts frm his house …

Let the amount the man initially had be x

 

When he reached the first temple, the money doubled. So, the amount now is 2x.

 

He donates 100. So, balance amount = 2x – 100

 

This again doubles at 2nd temple. So, he has 2 (2x - 100) => 4x – 200

 

He gives 100. So, he has 4x – 200 – 100 = 4x – 300

 

Same process at Temple 3.

 

It doubles and he has 2(4x - 300) = 8x – 600

 

He gives 100. So, he has 8x – 700

 

Again doubling at Temple 4. Thus, he has 2(8x - 700) = 16x – 1400

 

He gives 100 and has nothing. Thus 16x – 1400 – 100 = 0

 

=> 16x – 1500 = 0

 

=> 16x = 1500

 

Therefore, x = 1500/16 = 93.75

Thus, he started from home with Rs.93.75

ANSWER ???? Let the money be = x In temple 1 the money is doubled = 2(x) = 2x He donates rupees 100 in first temple. Then the money will be =2x - 100 In temple 2 the money is doubled = 2( 2x-100) = 4x-200 He donates rupees 100 in second temple = 4x -200-100 = 4X -300 In temple 3 the money is doubled = 2(4x-300) = 8x-600 He donates rupees 100 in third temple =8x-600-100 =8x-700 In temple 4 the money is doubled = 2(8x-700) =16X -1400 He donates rupees 100 in temple fourth =16X -1400-100 = 16X -1500 Therefore => 16X =1500 => X = 1500/16 => X = 93.75 (answer) ???????????????????
