Question

you are given two eggs and an access to a 64 story building. both eggs are identical. the aim is to fond out the highest floor from which an egg will not break when dropped out of a window from that floor.if an egg is dropped and does not break,it is undamaged and can be dropped again.however, once an egg is broken,that’s it for that egg.if an egg breaks when dropped from floor n,then it would also have broken from floor above that.if an egg survives a fall,then it will survive any fall shorter than that.the question is:what is the worst case for the number of drops it will take?

Answer 1

`Hey,

Note: Brother if you have any queries related the answer please do comment. I would be very happy to resolve all your queries.

We can do it by testing in sequences like

1+2+3+4.....x>=64

x*(x+1)/2>=64

x=10.825

So, n=11

Thiss means we will start dropping from 11 then jump up 10 then 9 an so on.

So,

In worst case drop count is 11

Kindly revert for any queries

Thanks.
