Hi

There is running bus with 7 girls inside.
Each girl has 7 bags.
Inside each bag, there are 7 big cats,
Each big cat has 7 small cats,
All cats have 4 legs each!

Question: How many legs are there inside the bus?


The total number of Legs would be the password for this file:
(See attached file: Dipak Patel.doc)

If you can't open the file, the answer you obtained is wrong.

Good luck! (If you are genius, please inform me)

The number of girls in the bus is = 7, so the number of human legs becomes = 14

As mentioned, each girl has 7 bags, so total bags = 49

Each cat has 7 kittens and each bag has 7 Cats. so 7x7=49kittens + 7 = 56
Thus, Cats per Bag = 56

So, total cats = 56 x 49 = 2744

Since each cat has 4 legs each, total cat Legs = 2744 x 4 = 10976

So, total legs = 10976 + 14(girl legs ) = 10990

Which opens the file.

Thank You.

This is the content of doc file
One bag
1 1 1 1 1 1 1(big cats)
1111111(small cats)


7(small cats)+1(big cat)=8 * 7(big cats)=56(Total cats inside one bag)

56*7(bags)=392(total cats for each girl)

392*7(girls)=2744(total cats for every girl)

2744*4(lags)=10976(total lags)

10976+14(7 girls lags)=10990

Shakku puzzle after a long time :)

Its been long time since I had worked on these types of puzzle during my fresher days, for myself… and to ask when I go for campus recruitments for my company.

Scenario:
There is a bus with 7 girls inside,
Each girl has 7 bags,
Inside each bag, there are 7 Big cats,
Each Big cat has 7 small cats,
All cats have 4 Legs each!

Question: How many Legs are there inside the bus?

See attached file: cat_legs_answer.xls. The total number of Legs would be the password for this file ;)
If you can’t open the file, the answer you obtained is wrong.

Good luck!!!

conductor one's is optional. there are may busses where there is no conductors .
but wat i feel is that the question is bogus COZ THE DRIVER MAY ONE OF THE GIRLS MENTIONED WHO TOO HAS BAGS LIKE OTHERS. SO ITS NOT A GREAT QUESTION TO TEST SOME1'S APTITUDE.
