there are some sweets in party , 1 / 3 rd eaten by kids . then 2 / 5 th of the remaining by men , then 2 / 3 rd of the remaining by women . at last 2 were remaining . how many sweets were in total ?
sol : if x sweets were there in total , then x × ( 1 – 1 / 3 ) × ( 1 – 2 / 5 ) × ( 1 – 2 / 3 ) = 2 x × 2 / 3 × 3 / 5 × 1 / 3 = 2 x = 15 answer : c
divide(2, subtract(subtract(subtract(const_1, divide(1, 3)), multiply(divide(2, 5), subtract(const_1, divide(1, 3)))), multiply(divide(2, 3), subtract(subtract(const_1, divide(1, 3)), multiply(divide(2, 5), subtract(const_1, divide(1, 3)))))))
