The first thief takes (1/2 x + 1) . What remains ? x - (1/2x + 1)
So the 2nd thief takes 2/3 of [ x - (1/2x + 1) ]
What remains ? x - 2/3 [ x - (1/2x + 1) ]
So the 3rd thief takes 2/3 of { x - 2/3 [ x - (1/2x + 1) ] } and he takes 1 more .
What remains ? x - ( 2/3 { x - 2/3 [ x - (1/2x + 1) ] } + 1 )
And that whole ugly thing is equal to ' 1 ', so you can solve it for 'x'..
The whole problem from here on is an exercise in simplifying
an expression with a bunch of 'nested' parentheses in it.
===============================================
This is a lot harder than just solving the problem with logic and
waving your hands in the air. Here's how you would do that:
Start from the end and work backwards:
-- One diamond is left.
-- Before the 3rd thief took 1 more, there were 2.
-- That was 1/3 of what was there before the 3rd man took 2/3.
So he found 6 when he arrived.
-- 6 was 1/3 of what was there before the second thief helped himself.
So there were 18 when the 2nd man arrived.
-- 18 was 1 less than what was there before the first thief took 1 extra.
So he took his 1 extra from 19.
-- 19 was the remaining after the first man took 1/2 of all on the table.
So there were 38 on the table when he arrived.

Cost of the lawnmower bought by Sarah = $320
Amount of down payment made by Sarah = $100
Amount paid by Sarah in 12 months = (12 * 25) dollars
= 300 dollars
Total amount paid by Sarah = (300 + 100) dollars
= 400 dollars
Excess amount paid as interest by Sarah = (400 - 320) dollars
= 80 dollars
Actual yearly rate of interest paid by Sarah = (80/320) * 100 percent
= 25 percent
So 25% yearly interest was paid by Sarah. The correct option is option "C".
