Question

A farmer had a fox, a chicken and some corn. He had to cross a river. There was a boat, but it could carry only the farmer and one more thing. How will he cross the river and carry all three across? If he leaves the fox and the chicken together, the fox will eat the chicken and if he leaves the chicken and the corn, the chicken will eat the corn. What should he do?

Answer 1

The farmer will take the chicken with him and cross the river. He will leave the chicken on the otherside and will come back. During this time the fox will not eat the corn.
Then he will take the fox and cross the river. He will leave the fox on the other side and bring back the chicken. He will leave the chicken and will cross over with the corn. He will leave the chicken on the other side and will comeback. During this time the fox will not eat the corn.
Then he will take the fox and river. He will leave the fox on the other side and bring back the chicken. He will leave the chicken and will cross over with the corn. He will leave the corn with the fox and will come back for the chicken and will cross over, again with the chicken.
