A person has 3000 bananas and a camel. The person wants to transport the maximum number of bananas to a destination which is 1000 KMs away, using only the camel as a mode of transportation. The camel cannot carry more than 1000 bananas at a time and eats a banana every km it travels. What is the maximum number of bananas that can be transferred to the destination using only camel (no other mode of transportation is allowed).
Question
A person has 3000 bananas and a camel. The person wants to transport the maximum number of bananas to a destination which is 1000 KMs away, using only the camel as a mode of transportation. The camel cannot carry more than 1000 bananas at a time and eats a banana every km it travels. What is the maximum number of bananas that can be transferred to the destination using only camel (no other mode of transportation is allowed).
Solution
To transport the maximum number of bananas to the destination using only the camel, we need to devise a strategy.
First, we need to determine the number of trips the camel can make to transport the bananas. Since the camel can carry a maximum of 1000 bananas at a time, we divide the total number of bananas (3000) by 1000 to find the number of trips.
3000 bananas / 1000 bananas per trip = 3 trips
Next, we need to calculate the number of bananas the camel will consume during each trip. Since the camel eats a banana for every kilometer it travels, and the destination is 1000 kilometers away, we multiply the number of trips by the distance to find the total number of bananas consumed.
3 trips * 1000 kilometers per trip = 3000 bananas consumed
Now, we subtract the number of bananas consumed from the total number of bananas to find the maximum number of bananas that can be transferred to the destination.
3000 bananas - 3000 bananas consumed = 0 bananas
Therefore, the maximum number of bananas that can be transferred to the destination using only the camel is 0 bananas.

There are total n number of Monkeys sitting on the branches of a huge Tree. As travelers offer Bananas and Peanuts, the Monkeys jump down the Tree. If every Monkey can eat k Bananas and j Peanuts. If total m number of Bananas and p number of Peanuts are offered by travelers, calculate how many Monkeys remain on the Tree after some of them jumped down to eat. At a time one Monkeys gets down and finishes eating and go to the other side of the road. The Monkey who climbed down does not climb up again after eating until the other Monkeys finish eating.Monkey can either eat k Bananas or j Peanuts. If for last Monkey there are less than k Bananas left on the ground or less than j Peanuts left on the ground, only that Monkey can eat Bananas(<k) along with the Peanuts(<j).Write code to take inputs as n, m, p, k, j and return the number of Monkeys left on the Tree. Where, n= Total no of Monkeys k= Number of eatable Bananas by Single Monkey (Monkey that jumped down last may get less than k Bananas) j = Number of eatable Peanuts by single Monkey(Monkey that jumped down last may get less than j Peanuts) m = Total number of Bananas p = Total number of PeanutsRemember that the Monkeys always eat Bananas and Peanuts, so there is no possibility of k and j having a value zero
