1) An intelligent trader carries 6 sacks having 60 coconuts each. (Maximum limit is 60 per sack) On the way he passes through 60 checkpoints. On every checkpoint he has to give one coconut each from each sack. How many coconuts does he have left?
Note : The trader is intelligent. So obviously he would minimize the number of coconuts which he would give.
Hint :- Initially, The trader passes through 10 checkpoints, leaving the trader with 60 coconuts per sack. At this point the trader distributes all coconuts from one sack into the other 5 sacks, leaving 5 sacks each filled with 60 coconuts.
2) There are two paths towards the destination. One of the path leads to heaven and the other one leads to hell. There are two guardians, one by each door. You know one of them always tells the truth and the other always lies, but you don’t know who is the honest one and who is the liar.
You can only ask one question to one of them in order to find the way to heaven. What is the question?

Question is incomplete, what is the maximum capacity of each sack ?
Yes edited. 👍 Max. Limit of each sack is 40.
Answer should be around 46 (23 each in 2 sacks i think)
+/- calculation errors (answer could be gravely wrong too , as did it in mind)
It is assumed that the maximum capacity of each bag is 40
same answer from my side too
46 should be the Ans
46
After each checkpoint, he’ll reshuffle all sacks to make each one store 40 by emptying the others.
Hint Initially, The trader passes through 10 checkpoints, leaving the trader with 60 coconuts per sack. At this point the trader distributes all coconuts from one sack into the other 5 sacks, leaving 5 sacks each filled with 60 coconuts.
Sab samajh aa gaya kya Golapanti chalu hai idhar.. Pehle yeh bataao ki checkpoint pe Gola kyun de rahaa hai intelligent hai toh!
114?
114?
Right, 57 in each bag
Check the edited post.
I’ve changed the numbers to make calculation easy.

Most probably the trader is not intelligent. If he is intelligent he won’t travel with just 160 coconuts with 40 check points considering travel cost.
Does the trader has knife for cutting coconut?
But after cutting it would be a half coconut
I dont think that angle of story is available here
@Pani-Puri Previously my answer came to 44. What was the correct answer?
Workings 😂 →
Yes 44 is correct answer for previous one.
objective is to reduce the number of sacks carrying
360=6 sacks
after 10 check points he adjusted to
360-60=300 =5sacks
after 12 more check points
300-60=240=4 sacks after adjusting
after 15 more checkpoints
240-60=180=3 sacks after adjusting
after 20 more checkpoints
180-60=120=2 sacks after adjusting
after last 3 remaining checkpoints
120-6=114
this is the right answer.
Correct 
Why didnt he sew all sacks together into a big sack. Or just transport loosely in a pickup without sacks.
because the Capacity per sack is 40 only.

2) There are two paths towards the destination. One of the path leads to heaven and the other one leads to hell. There are two guardians, one by each door. You know one of them always tells the truth and the other always lies, but you don’t know who is the honest one and who is the liar.
You can only ask one question to one of them in order to find the way to heaven. What is the question?
Easy one.

Since nobody is answering to question number 2, i will try to decode,
I will ask any one of the two persons "What path would the other guardian suggest me to take for heaven ? " And the path which he tells, i will take the opposite one.
Simple.
It was answered earlier,
But with the corona deaths Both the guards will be too busy and you may not
get an answer
Question
Frame a question where the question and answer are the same,I have only one question in mind. and I guess it is in Everyone’s mind
Eg, What is the unit of electricity -* Watt*
Since it is unanswered
Hint 1 The question is connected with corona pandemic
