A king who had three sons, left 17 horses and died with the condition that none of my horse should die or must be shared.

His last statement was that all of his children must divide the horse such that 1 has 1/2 of the horses,2 have 1/3 and third can have 1/9 of the remaining

they were confused soon a man came riding on horse and they spoke to him soon that man divided the horses and went away on his horse.

Man who came added his horse so there was 18 horses in total. Heirs divided horses 9 (1/2), 6(1/3) and 2(1/9) amongst themselves, and misterious man got his horse back and ride to the sunset. :-)

The visitor added his horse also to the 17 of the demised King, making it totally 18. Then he gave 1/2 - Nine horses to the first son, 1/3 - six horses to second son and 1/9 - 2 horses to third son. The remaining one was his own horse, on which he rode away.

One has 8 horses. 1/2 of 16. One has 5 horses, 1/3 of 15. And of the remaining 4 horses, 1/9 of 4 for the thirs son, so the third son gets nothing.
