  • Question
  • A secret can be told to only 3 persons in 3 minutes. Each person in turn tells 3 other persons in the next 3 minutes and the processes continues accordingly. In 30 minutes how many persons can be told this secret in this way ?


  • Options
  • A. 88572
  • B. 77854
  • C. 99584
  • D. 55654

  • Correct Answer
  • 88572 

    Explanation

    Given a secret is told to 3 persons in 3 minutes.
    And if the process continues with each person saying 3 other persons,
    In 30 minutes => the rocess for 10 times because each person time is 3 minutes.
    Required number of persons =  3   +   3 2   +   3 3   +   . . . .   +   3 9   +   3 10

     

    Now it forms a geometric progression,

     

    Sum to n terms is S   =   a r n   -   1 r   -   1

     

    Here a = 3, r = 3

     
    => 59048 x 3 /2

     

    = 88572.
