The king had his doubts about his sons’ fighting
skills, and so he sent his two eldest to the court magidan
for potions to help fight the ogre.
The magician kept his magic hidden, mindful of the
danger of his potent potion falling into the wrong
hands. In a secret but inconvenient compartment in his
laboratory, he hoarded:
1. four ogre-fighters
2. three dragon-destroyers
3. two evil wizard-vanquishers
How many potions did he have to reach for in order
to make sure that he could give an ogre-fighter to each
of the king’s two sons?View SolutionSubmit Solution- 1,641.7K views

To enlist the help of the other kingdoms, the king talked to the queen about inviting neighboring royalty to dinner. This put the queen into a royal snit. Theirs was not a very wealthy kingdom and the royal dinnerware was in a disgraceful condition. Apart from ordinary dishes for everyday use, all that the royal pantry contained were a few dinner plates of three different
dinner patterns:
1. five silver ones with birds
2. six crystal with seashells
3. seven gold with the royal crest
They were all stored in disarray on a very dark top shelf of the royal pantry. Only those would be suitable for entertaining other royalty.
If the queen didn’t want to climb up to the top shelf twice, how many dinner plates would she have to take down to be sure she had matching dinner plates for herself, her royal spouse, and for the neighbouring king and queen?View SolutionSubmit Solution- 1,645.2K views
