Namaskar!

In this article, we are going to share a ‘Viral Math Problem’ which is booming on internet. It is available on Facebook and other social media platforms. Millions of people trying to find answer of the question and getting into a debate over the correct answer. So, there is actually going a great debate over the correctness of the answer on social media.

In this article, we are trying to show you the correct approach to solve the question given below.

If you want to enjoy reading this article more, you need to pause her and solve the question first. Then, when you look at the solution, you will understand why the question is debatable!

We are providing the best solution possible here below:

While solving very first equation of the question, wherein sum of there apples are given as 30. We can easily conclude that one apple would be 10. This part of the question or solution is quite simple and there is no any debate included in this part of explanation.

Till here, the things are clear. Now focusing on the second equation given in the question. The second equation has an apple added along with the two bunches of bananas. Now, here the great debate starts. Some people considered, while solving, two bunches of bananas. Whereas, other group of people chose to consider number of bananas. Here, in one bunch there are four bananas. Such two bunches are available. So, in total, there are eight bananas. We shall prefer the latter conceptualization. This way we shall add an apple in eight bananas. Apple is having value ‘10’. So, in the given equation, while solving we get value of one banana as ‘1’. You can see the below image to understand it in more detail.

Now, we know that one apple posses the value ‘10’ and one banana ‘1’. Now while solving the third equation, in which deduction of one whole coconut from one bunch of four bananas is given as ‘2’. Now, one banana being ‘1’, four bananas would possess value ‘4’. This way we shall get the value of one whole coconut as ‘2’.

Now, the last step of solving the question is the final equation, given below. We already know, one apple is ‘10’. One banana makes ‘1’. One whole coconut makes ‘2’. But the question is half coconut added into one apple added into three bananas. Yes! This is just not a math problem, but also an observational logical problem as well. One whole coconut was ‘2’, so half coconut would be ‘1’. One apple stands for ‘1’. Three bananas would be ‘3’ as one banana is ‘1’. This way the given equation posses the value 1 + 10 + 3 = 14.

This was an interesting algebraic question. Hope you all enjoyed solving this.

Have a great day ahead!
