Sankara, Solve it by Backtracing method..THis is a logical Question.


It's given that at the end, each had 24 tractors (24, 24, 24) i.e. after C gave tractors to A & B as many as they
had. It means that after getting tractors from C their tractors got doubled. So before C gave them tractors,
they had 12 tractors each and C had 48 tractors. (12, 12, 48)


Similarly, before B gave tractors to A & C, they had 6 & 24 tractors respectively and B had 42 tractors i.e. (6,
42, 24)


Again, before A gave tractors to B & C, they had 21 & 12 tractors respectively and A had 39 tractors i.e. (39,21, 12)


THUS< initially A had 39 tractors, B had 21 tractors and C had 12 tractors.
