fRanCisM's picture

In a construction site, an accountant asked the workers...

Accountant: Hello there!? How many are you there?

Worker: Sir, If you are going to add yourself to the quantity of the persons in the first floor, we in the second floor will be half of the quantity in the first floor.

Accountant: Hmmm... Hey you there!? Worker in the first floor how many are you there? All of you including the workers in the second floor.

Worker in the first floor: Sir, If one of us here in the first floor will go up in the second floor, the quantity of the persons up there and down here will be equal.

Accountant: Hmmm...

Can you help the Accountant to compute the number of workers in the second floor & in the first floor?

Q = Number of workers in the second floor
L = Number of worker in the first floor

equation 1:
2Q = L+Accountant
or Q = (L+1)/2

equation 2:
Q+1 = L-1

Let x bethe no in ff
accountant=x+1
2nd floor=x+1/2

if 1 person from first floor goes to 2nd floorin the first floor there will be x no of people so

x+2/2=x
x+2=2x
2=2x-x=2

x=2
so there r totally 4 people including the accountant.
i hope the answer is correct.
