1cigar = 5 butt
20 cigar = 100 butt
24 cigar = 120 butt
25 cigar = 125 butt
hence, 24

Hi,
Ans:30

Reason:If He Smoke 24 Cigars he get 24 Buds & remaining 1 bud
so Total 25 buds. With this 25 buds He Can make 5 Cigars . finally
with this 5 Buds He can Make 1 Cigars.

so Totally 30 Cigars..

He has 30 cigars to smoke.

He has 30 cigars to smoke.

121/5=24 cigars.(1 remainder i.e remaining butt)
24 butts are again produced from 24 cigars .
so, now we have 24 + 1 butts =25 butts .
25/5 = 5 cigars.
from 5 cigars , 5 more butts are produced which will make 1 more cigar.

So , Total Cigars are =24+5+1 = 30 .
this is the complete solution.
