Wife: A third -> 1/3

 

Mistress: A quarter -> 1/4

 

Son: Half of Mum -> 1/3 X 1/2= 1/6

 

Daughter: Half of Son -> 1/6 X 1/2= 1/12

 

So arithmetically equation will be as follows:

 

1/3 + 1/4 + 1/6 + 1/12 (Set to common factor, 12)

 

4/12 + 3/12 + 2/12 + 1/12 = 10/12

 

Just nice got 10 parts in the equation. So his wife gets 4 gold coins, mistress 3 gold coins, son 2 coins and daughter 1 coin.

 

Leaves him with 1 extra gold coin. Then one........

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

GIVE ME SUA! :D

Mathematically is correct.... But i'm really :confused: ...

How you know the son belongs to the wife and not the mistress?

 

:cheeky:

there r 2 rooms, 1 is a bulb room, wif 3 bulbs, A, B n C. e other is a switch room, wif switch A, B n c. u can go into each room once. how wud u differentiate which switch is for which bulb?

On Switch A & B, Switch C is off. Wait awhile (ard 1min). Off Switch B only.

Go to room. The lighted bulb is control by Switch A.

Touch the 2 bulbs that are off. The warm bulb is connect to Switch B while the cold 1 is link to Switch C. :smile:

This is simple...Give others a chance first.

 

Hint.You need only 2 switches. :cheeky:

Ok, the question have some error. He got 2 daughters.

Answer is right, but explaination is not ideal answer.

How do u give 4/12 of 11 coins in the 1st place?

By not taking the fraction in the exact value.

 

Example the number 12 is just a common factor whereby the ratio of the gold coins shared by the people in the family.

 

4/12 doesn't mean 4/12 out of the 11 coins..

 

I simply tabulate the fractions to get the total number of shares in this case is a total of 10 gold coins.

 

So there would be a remaining 1 gold coin after the 10 coins given out in the ratio given:

 

4 to the wife,

3 to the mistress,

2 to the son,

1 to the daughter.

 

Remainder of 1 gold coin.

 

Does the remaining coin goes to the missing daughter?
