چاروں بیٹوں میں سے ہر ایک پل کے وقت کو عبور کر سکتا ہے، یعنی بالترتیب 3، 7، 13، اور 17 منٹ، ایک وقت میں صرف دو لوگ ہی کراس کر سکتے ہیں، کم از کم کتنا وقت ہے جس میں چاروں پل عبور کر سکتے ہیں؟
Explanation
First, send 17 and 7.
After 7 minutes, 7 is at finish and 17 needs 10 more minutes to complete his travel. now send 13.
After 10 minutes 17 reaches finish and 13 needs 3 more minutes to complete. now send 3.
Both 3 and 13 reach the destination at the same time after 3 minutes.
hence the time taken is 7+10+3 = 20 minutes.
