Here is a challenge for KA users. I got this from a question paper, Please help me in this question. Thanks. Ask for any doubts :)

''' " There is a room with 4 side. And there are lots of Rats in it. But we don't know its number. We could call those sides ABCD. Suddenly a Cat comes to the room, and the rats spread out and ran to the A side. The cat who reached the Side A catched a few mice. We don't know its number also. The frightened rats move on to side B and their number got doubled. The cat reached the side B and ate the same number as it ate on the side A. The rest of the rats ran to side C but their number Thribled (3x). But the silly cat when reached the side C ate the same number ones again. While the rats left when reached SIde D increase by (4x). While when the cat reached the side D it ate the very same number ones again. But for surprise there were no rats left on the room. So, my question is How much rats were in the room at first ? How much rats were the cat eating on each time ? Thanks a lot '''
