Dear Student
The 1st person will keep the marble in 50th box
The 2nd person will also keep marble in 50th box
The 5th person will also keep the marble in 50th Box
The 10th person will also keep the marble in 50th box
25th person will also do the same
50th person will also perform the same
1+2+5+10+25+50=93

the marbles will be kept in box number 50 only when 50 is a multiple of that person...suppose person 13 came to put marbles..he will keep 13 marbles in box number 13, 26 and 39.
