Yeah
Yeah, the longest fertile period.
See they tell you the life span of both sperm and egg.
Sperm lives, for example two days, and egg 3 so if a sperm is released on day 10th, it can fertilise the egg released on day 12th. If the fertile period is for three days, means egg can be released in any time during. So if egg is released at the end of the day of the fertile period, it can still live for 3 days and if at that time there's any sperm present, it will again be fertilised. So what you have to do is just count the number of days, in which fertilisation can occur.
You got that?
yeah okay. But if the egg is released on the last day of the sperm like the 2nd day so fertilization will occur and if it's released on the third day so the sperm would die and no fertilization would occur right?

Yeah but we have to make it the greatest period so we'll consider it on the very last day before it gets expired.
