let’s first try at floor 14. If it breaks, then we need 13 more tries to find the solution. If it doesn’t break, then we should try floor 27 (14 + 13). If it breaks, we need 12 more tries to find the solution. So the initial 2 tries plus the additional 12 tries would still be 14 tries in total. If it doesn’t break, we can try 39 (27 + 12) and so on. Using 14 as the initial floor, we can reach up to floor 105 (14 + 13 + 12 + … + 1) before we need more than 14 tries. Since we only need to cover 100 floors, 14 tries is sufficient to find the solution.

Therefore, 14 is the least number of tries to find out the solution.

okay..unlimited eggs..anni identical ee..ee floor lo break avtundoo minimum tries lo cheppali..

2 eggs annav kada.

First- middle lo nunchi chusta which 100+1 / 2 = Approx 50, if it breaks i will try 1 t0 49,


Assuming if it doe not break from 50th floor, i will try it from 51 to 100.
