solutions for cow questions: if we consider first cow would she calf at age 2 then first new cow would come at age two. at end of 2nd year: 1st would give new cow: at end of 3rd year:1st cow would another new cow at end of 4th year :1st cow will give new cow and the cow born at end of 2nd year would give another cow at 5th year: :now of new cows=cow born by(1st+2nd year+3rd year) - - - - if you try it this way then you would be able to understad that it would be a reverse fibinacci series( try to analyse by last cow produced by 1st cow) total no of cows would be: 1+1+2+3+5+8+13+21+34+55+89=(sum of first 11 terms of fibinacci series) 232

How many pairs will there be in one year? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Algorithm Geeks" group.
