SHOWER THE FLOWER There are four temples and four magical ponds at the entrance of each of these temples. The magical property of the ponds is to triple the numbers of flowers dipped in them. A priest has n flowers, he takes a dip in the first pond along with the flowers(the no. of flowers triple) then he offers m flowers out of these flowers at the first temple then he moves on to the second pond with the remaining flowers, takes a dip in the second pond and again offers m flowers at the second temple. He repeats the process of taking a dip in the ponds with the remaining flowers and offering exactly m flowers at third and fourth temples. If the priest is left with no flowers after offering m flowers at the fourth temple, what are the minimum possible values of n and m.

Someone, please help with the arrangement of this question.

Seven persons, Ankur, Bhargav, Chirag, Dheeraj, Farhan, Gaurav and Harish, were invited to speak at a conference, which

comprised only the speeches of these seven persons. When the persons reached the venue of the conference, they

realized that they were asked to sit around a circular table which had only six uniformly spaced seats. The seven of them

came to an agreement such that, at the beginning of the conference, while the first person to speak gives his speech at the

podium, the remaining six persons will sit around the table. Once the first person finishes his speech, the second person to

speak will stand at the podium and make his speech, offering his seat to the person who spoke just before him. This

process of sharing the seats will continue until all the seven persons had finished their speeches, at the end of which all the

seven persons will leave the venue. The following information is known about their seating arrangement during the conference:

i.The two seats which Harish occupied during the conference were exactly opposite each

other.

ii.Farhan, who was sitting opposite Bhargav at the beginning of the conference, did not occupy any other seat throughout

the conference, while both Bhargav and Farhan occupied the same seat at different times during the conference.

iii.Dheeraj, who was sitting to the left of Ankur at the beginning of the conference, gave his speech immediately after

Ankur.

iv.Gaurav sat in two different seats, neither of which was opposite any seat in which Bhargav

sat.

v.Ankur sat to the left of Farhan at the beginning of the

conference.
