Anuj,

You modified the problem because I remember this from 50 years ago. It was more suited to the old system of weights where 1 Mann (or Maund) equalled 40 Seers (or Shers) and the question was the same i.e. the minimum number of weights required to weigh from 1 Seer to 1 Mann.

Dear Birbal Sir,

You are right. Maine galtee se galat sawal pooch liya!

Renu jee aapkaa answer bhee bilkul sahee thaa. Pahle maine bat kee keemat uska wajan bataya thaa. Here goes the asli version again!

Ek dukandar ke yaha 1 kilo se 40 kilo tuk gud ke gahak aate hain. Usse baat khareedne hain, market me 1 -40 tuk sare baat milte hain.

Ye batao, wo kon kon se (kilo ke) bat khareede, takki kum se kum bat ho (number of weight's, not sum of their weights) , aur toul bhee saree ho jaa!

Waise itna kathin pahle hee pooch leta to ek bhee response milne me fight ho jati.

Thanks
Anuj
