If X: number of flowers that he brought with him.
Y: flowers given away at each temple.
Then 20*(10*(5*X-Y)-Y)-Y = 0
You get: 1000*X = 221 * Y
Which is: 10*10*10*X = 13*17*Y
Therefore, the smallest amount for X is 221, with Y = 1000.
The smallest amount of flowers he brought: 221
Amount given at each temple: 1000.

Lets say he bought x flowers and at each temple he used y flowers
so, at first temple the flowers became 5x and he used y
so, he went to next temple with 5x - y flowers
They became 10 times and he used y flowers again
so he went to third temple with [10(5x - y) - y] flowers
they became 20 times and he used them all. So this is equal to y
so,
20 [10(5x - y) - y] = y
solve and u get
1000x = 221y
Now u have infinite solutions to this...
x = 221n
y = 1000n
Minimum numbers are
he bought 221 flowers and used 1000 flowers each time
other possibilties are 442 flowers bought and used 2000 flowers and so on...
