A boatman wants to cross a river in a boat. He has to take a lion, a sheep, and a bundle of grass with him. He can take one of them at a time. If the sheep and grass are left on the shore, the sheep will eat the grass. And, if the sheep and lion are left on the shore, the lion will eat the sheep. How can the boatman take the lion, sheep, and grass across the river?

Take the sheep first. Return alone. Take the lion, leave it, bring back the sheep. Take grass, leave it, return alone. Finally, take the sheep. Chapter 1 uses this to teach logical reasoning. class 5 Maths-Mela Mathematics Textbook Chapter 1 question ...
