what i thought was -
one rotation around B will rotate A around itself 2times.      -        (2*pi*10 = 2(2*pi*5))
so 4 rotations => 8 rotations

imagine the contacting point on 'A'.  for one rotation of 'A'(as you think) imagined point again touches 'B' (exactly oposite side of 'B'). Erlier that point was on right hand side of 'A'. But now it is on left hand side of 'A' which means there is additional rotation of 180 deg. So for every full rotation around 'B'  'A' actually makes 3 roations around itself.
               

             for 4 rotations around 'B',         4*3 = 12

'a' be the centre of A and 'b' be the centre of B. Initially the line ab is horizontal. Let the point of contact be c. acb is the order of points. Imagine the position of A after it makes half revolution around B. Now, ba is again horizontal, but c is not the point of contact. Initially acb was the order of points, but now bac is the order, ie, c has undergone some n+0.5 rotations around b(n is a non -ve integer). So half revolution implies n+0.5 rotations. One revolution implies 2n+1 rotations. We were ignoring this 1 rotation. Hope it is clear.

But, how do you prove that n = 1? Infact I think the order of the points a, b and c after half revolution depends on the radii of the circles. Comments...

In the above explanation "c has undergone some n+0.5 rotations around a (n is a non -ve integer)". The n+0.5 number of rotations are around a and NOT around b.

@ sailesh :

       For half rotation around 'B'..
 ------> A travels a distance of (2*pi*5). Because of this we get 1 rotation of A.

-------> As A is moving around a circular surface we are getting that 0.5 rotation..

so total 1.5

In general if radius of B is a multiple of radius of A, then we should calculate the angular displacement of "c" w.r.t "a" after A moves a distance equal to the perimeter of A. Let it be x. Then the number of rotations made by A in one revolution is radius of B/radius of A(1+x/360), if x is in degrees.

Seems to be correct, but not sure.

Sorry guys, another mistake in the explanation. "Now, ba is again horizontal, but c is not the point of contact." This is wrong.
     'c' is the point of contact again, and now bca is the order of points from left to right. Initiially the order was acb. c was to the right of a, but now c is to the left of a, which means half a rotation.

      In general I found the following. R - radius of B, r - radius of A. Then, the number of rotations A will have made after one revolution around B is (R+r)/r. This is valid for any combination of R and r, ie, even if R<r and even if one is not a multiple of the other.

A - 1 chip, B - 2 chips, C - 3 chips ==> {1,2,3}

IE - 1 chip from B ==> {1,1,3}
CE - has 4 choices. one chip from C or all the chips from any of the piles. ==> {1,1,2} or {1,1,0} or {1,0,3} or {0,1,3}
IE - In the case of {1,1,2}, pick one chip from C ==> {1,1,1}.After this the steps are obvious.
      In any other case, if C is non-empty pick all the chips in C. If C is empty, pick any of the non-empty piles. Both the cases result in exactly one non-empty pile with one chip. IE is done.

@sailesh .....madhu already explained... you see you got mathematically it is making 2 revolutions per round if it is a rotating over perfect straight line ri8. see it is over a circular ring so revolving around circular ring counts one more, which is to be counted.

@chaitu: I think you are talking about the case R going to infinity. In that case B will be a plane and A(which is a finite circle) cannot revolve around B which is reflected in (R+r)/r going to infinity. Am I right? See the attached derivation. I hope it is correct.

@sailesh
Sorry mama. (R+r)/r works.
I was caring only about the logic. While checking your formula I have put some random numbers and I didn't get the correct answer.
May be my calculation was ( in hurry!)

That logic can be explained by your formula also.

(R+r)/r  =  (R/r) + 1
For every one revolution around the big circle the small circle has to make one extra rotation other than rotating on circumference.

Anyways ...great math there. :)

Thanks for reminding sailesh..

Small Modification of question- The Students Stared at each other for a while and then one shouts the color of his hat..

The full answer is as follows:

Let's number the Students #1, #2, and #3 where #1 is the one who yells out.(The color of his hat)

#1 thinks and says, if I am wearing White then #2 would have thought that if s/he was wearing White the #3 would know that s/he had on a Black hat (since there are only 2 White hats) and would yell out. Since #3 didn't yell out then #2 should know that s/he is wearing Black. #3 should be thinking the same thing of #2.

Since neither #2 nor #3 yells out, them #1 knows they must all have a Black hat on.

@ Riyaz:

Case 1: 2 white and 1 Black
Case 2: 1 White and 2 Black
Case 3 : 3 Black..

Case 1 and 2 are ruled out since no one shouted their colour..
So, Only possibility is Case 3..
