Question

There is a man who has a lion, a goat, and a bundle of grass. He has a boat too. wants to cross a river. His boat is not very strong and therefore he can only take one thing at a time with him. How many times will he have to cross the river? (Note: If the goat and grass are left alone, the goat will eat the grass, if the lion and goat are left alone, the lion will eat the goat.)​

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is : The man will first carry the goat then he will take the lion with him and take the goat back with him then he will take the grass with him as lions don't eat grass the grass will be safe the he will again take the goat with him to cross the river.

The man will have to cross the river 5 times.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

There are two different answers. I personally like the second one better but  the expected answer is probably this:

- first take the goat, cross the river and leave the goat;

- return; take the bundle of grass to cross the river and leave the grass;

- take the goat back on the boat and then return;

- leave the goat, take the lion, cross the river and leave the lion;

- return one last time, take the goat, cross the river one final time.

Totally he has to make 7 one-way trip across or return the river.

A different answer is that the man can never take the lion across the river as he will get eaten by the lion half way across! :)
