A real Puzzle

There is a desert of 1000km stretch. The two endpoints are A and B. A camel is standing at A and there are 3000 bananas. The camel can carry a maximum of 1000 bananas on his back. The camel eats 1 banana for travelling 1km. Now the problem is to find the maximum no. of bananas the camel can carry from to B.

A mathematical question

A man is initially standing at a certain point A. He starts walking 100 metres towards the east, then 50 metres towards the north, then 25 metres towards the west, then 12.5 metres towards the south, then 6.25 metres towards the east, then 3.125 metres (half of the previous distance) towards the north, and so on. Finally, He reaches a final point B after repeatedly walking in this fashion. What is the distance between points A and B?

The Brilliant Mananger

There is a hotel which has infinite rooms. One day, infinite guests arrive and fill those rooms (obviously some rooms would be empty!). Suddenly, at midnight, a VIP arrives and demands a room for himself immediately. The manager of the hotel is not at all worried and arranges for the room in one minute. How is it possible to find one empty room out of infinite rooms in just one minute!?
Level- Easy
P.S. - This puzzle was given to us by our maths teacher while doing the chapter relations and functions!
