Two friends Smith and Robert go to a shop to purchase a IC. Unfortunately, the shop keeper (owner) was not there and hence the helper greeted them instead. Helper charged them Rs 50 for the IC. Both divided the amount and hence each person paid Rs 25.
When the shop keeper returns and listens to the whole incident, he orders the helper to go back to the customers and return them Rs 5 as the IC actually costed Rs 45 and not Rs 50. On his way, the helper steals Rs 2 and returns Rs 3 to the friends i.e. Rs 1.5 to both Smith and Robert.
Now Both Smith and Robert have paid Rs 25 - 1.5 = Rs 23.5 which makes a total of Rs 47. The helper has Rs 2 which were not returned. Hence the total sum comes up to be Rs 47 + 2 = Rs 49. But we started with Rs 50 (initial price of fan). Where is the left over Rupee 1?
Hint: Read the question again.

To the total amount 47, we should only add 3 rupees which includes the stolen amount hence 50 rupees. Adding 2 rupees to 47 rupees doesn't make any sense.
ReplyDelete22.5 for IC, 2 were stolen so 1 from Smith and 1 from Robert, 1.5 is the change given to each of them. 22.5+1+1.5=25(One persons spending), so that's my conclusion...
