All my flowers except 2 are roses. All my fruits except 3 are apples. All my flowers except 3 are lilies and all my fruits except 4 are oranges. What is the minimum total number of roses, apples, lilies and oranges that I have?
Options
1) 7
2) 9
3) 12
4) 15
Explain too
waise its an oral question...coz the things complement each other...let flowers be 5 and fruits be 7...taking the sum of all the except things...10 secs and the answer is there...samajhana hain toh explanation dia hain..
@nits2811 Well, your answer is correct according to TIME, but earlier there was another even option e) 10.. I removed that here. But what is wrong in this:
Total fruits = b
Total flowers = a
Roses = a -2, Lilies = a -3
Apples = b - 3, Oranges = b-4
Now, a >3, b>4
Also, Roses - Lilies = 1
and Apples - Oranges = 1
I assume this scenario:
1 lily, 2 roses, 1 another flower(not known)
1 orange, 2 apples, 2 another type fruits(not known)
This scenario satisfies the given conditions.
Minimum total of roses, lilies, oranges, apples = 6 ! ?

@nits2811 Arey paas to lilies hai hi nahi.. ek to hona chahiye.. to make it logically correct.. Bina lilies ke hi .. main bolunga ki mere paas lilies hai.. par wo 0 hai ! yeh kya mazak hai :P
Yaar aise karoge toh answers can vary with the question. Aap question ko controversial bana rahe ho. Obviously, woh controversial question denge toh nahin and so that means that types of flowers and fruits given are the only present. :)
@YouMadFellow You and I think alike. I had to skip this question after getting an answer lower than each of the options. 😁 Bas ye yaad nahi ki aaya kya tha.
