Three friends returning from a movie,...

Three friends returning from a movie, stopped to eat at a restaurant. After dinner, they paid their bill and noticed a bowl of mints, at the front counter. Divya took `1/3` of the mints, but returned four because she had a momentary pang of guilt. Reema then took one-fourth of what was left but returned three for similar reasons. Shweta then took half of the remainder but threw two back into the bowl. The bowl had only 17 mints left when the raid was over. How many mints were originally in the bowl? (a) 31 (b) 38 (c) 41 (d) None of these
