let total bars given to sister be x
so 1/2 to mother and 1/2 more to father ie x/2 + 1/2
so remaining = x- ( x/2 + 1/2 ) =x/2- 1/2
then 1/2 of the remaining and 1/2 more to dog
ie..
1/2 (x/2 - 1/2 )+ 1/2 = x/4 - 1/4 + 1/2 = x/4 + 1/4
so remaining = x/2 - 1/2 - ( x/4 + 1/4 )
= x/2- 1/2 - x/4 - 1/4
=x/4 - 3/4
x/4 - 3/4 =3
1e... x/4=3+ 3/4
x= (15/4 ) *4
=15

a=4
ans:X=a^9=4^9(sure)
2) let us assume no. of participants = x
from the condition x.1/5+x.6/5=x+1/5+1/6
(x-1)1/5+(x-1)6/5=x
