The weight of an apple can vary, but on average, a medium-sized apple weighs about 0.33 pounds. To make 3 pounds, you would need approximately 9 medium-sized apples. It's important to note that this is an estimate and the actual number of apples needed may vary based on the size and variety of the apples.
the answer is 0.47
Number the apples 1 to 12 and split into 3 groups of 4 - 1234, 5678, 910 11 12. Now using a balance weigh 1234 against 5678 note the result. if the 1234 group went down this would indicate that there is either a heavy apple in that group or a light apple in the other group. next weigh 1 2 3 5 against 4 9 10 11 if the 1235 group went down this time it means that 1,2, or 3 is the heavy apple, simply weighing 1 against 2 would provide the answer to which is the heavy apple, this method works for the first 8 apples. if the 8 apples 1234, 5678 are equally balanced on the first weigh this means that the odd apple is in the group 9 10 11 12. now on the 2nd weighing weigh 9 10 11 against any 3 of the 1 to 8 group, if 9 10 11 rises it means there is a lighter apple in that group, if this group is balanced then 12 is the odd ball. The most important factor is that you must arrive at the 3rd weighing with no more than 3 apples,( this is the reason for exchanging 4 & 5 after the first weigh) and knowing that there is a heavy or light apple in the group and if it is in fact heavy or light. PS. I first came across this puzzle in 1957 the only difference was it was supposed to be billiard balls.
The answer to this riddle is that you would have 11 apples in total. The riddle is designed to trick the listener into overthinking the scenario by focusing on the hands rather than the total number of apples. By simply adding the apples together, you would realize the correct answer is 11.
at last i have one apple in hand and i gain Rs 1
Only me. (and 11 apples...)
Because "1" designates that you have only one of something. For example, if you have one apple, and you add another apple to that, you end up with two apples, not eleven.
To divide 10 apples between 11 people so that everyone has the same amount, you can cut each apple into 11 equal pieces. This will give you a total of 110 equal pieces (10 apples x 11 pieces). Then, distribute one piece of each apple to each person, ensuring that everyone receives an equal share. This method allows for all 11 people to have the same amount of apple.
