oops! i think u guys got this one wrong. it says 3 times not 2 to the power 3

well i dunno the right procedure to get this anwer but i was just trying out some combinations of which one wud work.

1+2+3+4= 10 and the others muct total up to 22 thts correct. so a combination of the mutiples of 1,2,3,4 by 1,2,3,4 should total up to 22.

i found A is G's sister

B is H's sister

C is E's sister

and D is F's sister

1+2+3+4+(1*3)+(2*4)+(3*1)+(4*2) = 32 apples

A=1 B=2 C=3 D=4 SO TOTAL APPLES POSSESSED BY A,B,C,D SISTERS IS (1+2+3+4)=10 TOTAL APPLES GIVEN =32 SO LEFT=32-10=22 SO 22 APPLES ARE POSSESSED BY E F G & I GIVEN DAT E=1 TIMES OF ANY SIS =1*C(LET)= 1*3=3 GIVEN DAT F=2 TIMES OF ANY SIS =2*D(LET)= 2*4=8 GIVEN DAT G=3 TIMES OF ANY SIS =3*A(LET)= 3*1=3 GIVEN DAT I=4 TIMES OF ANY SIS =4*B(LET)= 4*2=8 ------ so (3+8+3+8)=22 hence proved as 22+10=32

A -1

B -2

C -3

D -4

total of all 32

total of sister 10

so total of brothers 22

E *1(3)=3    

F*2(4)=8

G*3(1)=3

I*4(2)=8

3+8+3+8=22

so,

E --->C

F--->D

G--->A

I---->B

A=1,B=2,C=3,D=4
1+2+3+4+E+F+G+I=32
E+F+G+I=32-10
E+F+G+I=22
C AND E ARE SISTERS  3
D AND F ARE SISTERS  8
A AND G ARE SISTERS  3
B AND I ARE SISTERS   8
                                 ------
                                  22

f is b's sister and h is d's sister
