He must bring 3000 bananas to market, so he has to transport more than 3000 bananas to get 3000 to market. And to use camel to travel 1000 km to bring bananas, forget about them, they will be rotten before arrival.
@Gwave Academy.... I can't believe this coincidence. Two weeks back (on 5th Oct) I uploaded the same puzzle. TH-cam just showed me your video in the suggestion... You posted it just one week before me. Good to see you brother... keep up the good work. Now I am watching your complete approach.
There’s a much easier way to do this. Pick up 1000 move 200, drop 600 then go back 200. Pick up 1000 move 200 pick up 200 from the 600 so u have a thousand again move 333 drop 333 then go back 333 and pick up 200 from the now 400 pile to get back. Then pick up 1000 again go 200, pick up the last 200 so u have a thousand again travel 333 pick up 333 so u have 1000 with 467 km to go so u will have 533 at the end.
You forgot here that the camel need to return. Your approach works if there are three camels at start point and each carry 1000 bananas for a ride if 1000 km, not for the single camel approach like in the puzzle.
given the you leave the camel in the market... What are you gonna do now, buy back bananas again to take your camel back? Focusing on detail and losing the big picture..
I have an alternative solution which I think is an improvement and delivers 833 bananas to the market. Between the plantation and the market I have 2 stop points. 1st is at 333km from plantation (SP1). 2nd is at 833 km from plantation (SP2) (500kms from the 1st stop point). Working as follows: 1) 3 trips from plantation to SP1 (333kms distance apart) starting with 1000 bananas = 3*(1000-333) = 2001 bananas delivered to SP1. 2) 2 trips from SP1 to SP2 (500kms distance apart) starting with 1000 bananas = 2*(1000-500) = 1000 bananas delivered to SP2 3) 1 trip from SP2 to market starting with 1000 bananas. SP2 is 833kms from plantation and 177kms from market. So the last trip is 1*(1000-177) = 833 bananas delivered to market.
I Bet it cannot be wrong, because this is asked in one of my interviews and the expectation is same as the answer in this video. Please suggest me the correct answer if you feel it is wrong. Thanks
Correct ansr is 600 Only two trips by 700km & 300 km 2100 + 300 =2400 -3000 =600 Why make simple puzzle as hard ,to show ur importance . Very worong Explanation

You have simplified the complex puzzle to its maximum simplest. Thank you sir
i havent understood the 333 * 3
it should be 999 right but substracting 1000?
You're right... Camel will be having 534 banana's at the market.
This explanation is so clear!!! Thanks
It is not clear if the camel eats on return journeys and whether it returns home at the end.
explaination of the puzzle is simple and lucid. please solve google interview puzzles
i liked this puzzle. you have made this puzzle so simple. much appreciated

you are knowing the answer now that is why, you are thinking like this. This logic will be incorrect and difficult for modified questions 😌
@02:53 - Was going to propose THAT, but you took all the fun out of the puzzle!!
Good to see you brother... keep up the good work. Now I am watching your complete approach.
Thanks a lot , you definitely like other videos from my Channel, don’t miss
Lol yesterday it was the Yahoo interview puzzle.
I guessed ' 0 '. Now lemme watch your Vid :)
But why 200 km though
To Ans. the Q. Which I found simple was as.... 1000 bananas per Trip = 3 Trips. Eating 1 babnana per/km = 0 per trip! hence Zere at the end of 3 Trips
You forgot here that the camel need to return. Your approach works if there are three camels at start point and each carry 1000 bananas for a ride if 1000 km, not for the single camel approach like in the puzzle.
B
How you found out the 200, 333 number for solving this question any idea or thought process behind that?
what is your answer if there were 3500 bananas to start with

@Deepanshu Tomar carry no bananas for back trips is possible
@Deepanshu Tomar So you mean that camel has to carry and eat bananas ALL THE TIME?
@Deepanshu Tomar Well there's a loophole, it didn't say whether the camel can or cannot ablt to carry empty loads. So... 833 is possible
This is good, you made the complex puzzle to a very simple one. Thanks
It’s wrong.
I Bet it cannot be wrong, because this is asked in one of my interviews and the expectation is same as the answer in this video. Please suggest me the correct answer if you feel it is wrong. Thanks
Correct ansr is 600
Only two trips by 700km & 300 km
2100 + 300 =2400 -3000 =600
Why make simple puzzle as hard ,to show ur importance .
