The owner of a local jewelry store hired four watchmen to guard his diamonds, but a thief still got in and stole some diamonds. On the way out, the thief met each watchman, one at a time. To each he gave 1/5 of the diamonds he had then, and 4 more besides. He escaped with three diamonds. How many did he steal originally?  Choose the correct choice from the following answers
A) 4095  B) 4995  C) 2595  D) None of these  E) Cannot be determined
Explanation :   Since, thief escaped with 1 diamond,   Before 4th watchman, he had ( 3 + 4 ) x 5 = 35 diamonds.   Before 3rd watchman, he had ( 35 + 4 ) x 5 = 195 diamonds.   Before 2nd watchman, he had ( 195+ 4 ) x 5 = 995 diamonds.   Before 1st watchman, he had ( 995 + 4 ) x 5 = 4995 diamonds.   Answer : 4995
