A father left 17 Camels as an Asset for his Three Sons.
\nWhen the Father passed away, his sons opened up the will.
\nThe Will of the Father stated that the Eldest son should get Half of 17 Camels,
\nThe Middle Son should be given 1\/3rd of 17 Camels,
\nYoungest Son should be given 1\/9th of the 17 Camels,
\nAs it is not possible to divide 17 into half or 17 by 3 or 17 by 9, the sons started to fight with each other.
\nSo, they decided to go to a wise man.
\nThe wise man listened patiently about the Will. The wise man, after giving this thought, brought one camel of his own & added the same to 17. That increased the total to 18 camels.
\nNow, he started reading the deceased father\u2019s will.
\nHalf of 18 = 9.
\nSo he gave 9 camels
\nto the eldest son.
\n1\/3rd of 18 = 6.
\nSo he gave 6 camels
\nto the middle son.
\n1\/9th of 18 = 2.
\nSo he gave 2 camels
\nto the youngest son.
\nNow add this up:
\n9 + 6 + 2 = 17 &
\nThis leaves 1 camel,
\nwhich the wise man took back.<\/p>\n
The wise man solved this problem smartly with his intelligence. In short, every problem has a solution.<\/p>\n
