Answer / murthy

Answer is 2.

Solution:

Divide the stones into 3,3,2. Put 3 stones on left pan and
3 stones on right pan. If heavier stone is present in any
one of the side then that side will get down. Take the 3
stones from that side and again put 1 stone on left and 1
on right. We can find the heavier stone from this. If both
are equal then the remaining one is heaviest.

While dividing the stones as 3,3,2 when both sides are
equal then take the remaining 2 stones and put it on left
and right.

The answer is 2, 3 balls on each of the pans of the
balancing scales, should the scales balance then from the

place should the balance not balance, then from the heavier
group, pick 2 more balls (from 3) and weigh them, if the
scales balance then the remaining ball is the heaviest one
and if the scales do not balance then the one that is heavy
can be seen from that instant itself-- THUS THE MOST

A man is going to an Antique Car auction. All purchases must be paid for in cash. He goes to the bank and draws out $25,000. Since the man does not want to be seen carrying that much money, he places it in 15 evelopes numbered 1 through 15. Each envelope contains the least number of bills possible of any available US currency (i.e. no two tens in place of a twenty). At the auction he makes a successful bid of $8322 for a car. He hands the auctioneer envelopes number(s) 2, 8, and 14. After opening the envelopes the auctioneer finds exactly the right amount. How many ones did the auctioneer find in the envelopes?
