Discussion

Explanation:

Sita takes 1/3rd of the total mints which implies that the total number of mints in the bowl should be a multiple of 3. None of the options is a multiple of 3.

Hence, option (d).

Alternatively

This problem can be best solved by working backwards.

Number of mints before Eswari = (17 − 2) × 2 = 30

∴ Number of mints before a Fatima = (30-3)×43=36

∴ Number of mints before Sita = (36-4)×32=48

∴ Total number of mints in the bowl = 48

Hence, option (d).
