Arabian Camels

Level pending

Three men, Omar, Mohamed and Yusuf, went to a judge to divide among them what they inherited. They inherited 17 Arabian camels. Given the fact that Omar should inherit half of the camels. Mohamed should inherit only third of the camels while Yusuf ninth of the camels. Is it possible to divide the camels evenly among them?

No Maybe None of the answers Yes

Okay. This is a question from a very old folk tale. The judge adds his own camel to the seventeen camels, so now there are 18 camels now divide according to the fractions. One is left which is of the judge.

well i knew this story but don't you think that if The judge adds his own camel to the seventeen camels, the ratio of camels they will get would be out of 18 and not 17??

It is mentioned half of the camels, ninth of the camels, not half or ninth of seventeen camels.
