Venn diagram problem?

out of a heap of pure lotus flowers, a third part, a fifth part, and a sixth were offered respectively to the gods Siva, Vishnu, and then Sun; a quarter of the original heap was presented to Bhavani. The remaining twelve lotuses were given to the venerable preceptor. tell the whole number of lotus flowers.

Venn diagram problem?
To find out the remaining fraction of the original lotuses:


1-1/3-1/5-1/6-1/4=1/20





Thus 1/20 of the original flowers is equal to 12 flowers


12*20=240 which is the total number of flowers
