3 boys go to the restaurant. Their bill was 75 rs..
So they contributed 25 each. Manager then gives 5 rs back
to the waiter and then waiter gave 3 rs back to them and
put 2 rs into his pocket..
So their actual contribution is 24 because they got 1-1 rs
back. so 24*3=72 and 2 rs into the waiter's pocket. so
74+2=74
where is 1 rs?

Answer / pankaj kumar baruah
actually this problem should be solved like this....
they gave to manager==75.00
manager returns ==5.00
so their actual expense=70.00(75-5)
and again 2 rs is in waiters hand;so the actual expense
is=70+2=72.00
and they each expense is=24.00;
there is nothing like loss of 1rs.

Answer / nishant
Well Money is not Missing.
24*3=72 and that's it, it includes the money to the
manager+the money to the waiter.
the rest of the money is already back to the Guys.
So it is something like:-
24*3(Which the boys lost, it includes 70rs to manager+2 rs
to waiter)+3(Which the boys got back)=75
Not a single penny is missing.

Answer / george prasanna
ooh... a vey interesting one.....
the bill amount was Rs.75....
three of them contributed Rs.25 each.so 3 x 25 =75 Rs,,,,,,
They had a discount of 5 Rs...
So their share is 75-5=70 70/3 =23.33
Now the waiter returned three rupees as a whole .... so
23.33 x 3 = 70.00 + 3 = 73 Rs...
The remaining 2Rs is with the waiter... So 73 + 2 =75
Rs.....

Answer / pritam agrawal
actually 1 rs is nt missing.....
the total expense i.e. rs 72 includes the 2 rs given to the
waiter.....so no question of 72+2 addition.........instead
it would be like...70rs to manager....2 rs to waiter and 3
rs given back to the boys....so a total of 75 initial
billing.....

Answer / kashif
wtf?
Its simple math. Question is totally wrong.
Waiters amount is added twice in question.
Look
Manager took 70
Waiter Took 2
__________________________
Total 72
Then why +2 added again in the amount.
They Actually paid 72 rupees not 74.

Answer / vikram lembhe
they gave to manager=75
manager returns =5
now they got rs 5 back so expense is 70
so their actual expense: 75-5= 70
out of their that 5 they give 2 rs to waiter
so their expense becomes 70+2=72
they received 1rs each back
72+3=75
there is nothing like loss of 1rs.

Answer / harsh agrawal

taken by the waiter. thus it is not two rs. that should be
added in 72 rs. rather it should be 3 rs.

In the middle of the confounded desert, there is the lost city of "Ash". To reach it, I will have to travel overland by foot from the coast. On a trek like this, each person can only carry enough rations for five days and the farthest we can travel in one day is 30 miles. Also, the city is 120 miles from the starting point. What I am trying to figure out is the fewest number of persons, including myself, that I will need in our Group so that I can reach the city, stay overnight, and then return to the coast without running out of supplies. How many persons (including myself) will I need to accomplish this mission?
Ali Baba had four sons, to whom he bequeathed his 39 camels, with the proviso that the legacy be divided in the following way : The oldest son was to receive one half the property, the next a quarter, the third an eighth and the youngest one tenth. The four brothers were at a loss as how to divide the inheritance among themselves without cutting up a camel, until a stranger appeared upon the scene. Dismounting from his camel, he asked if he might help, for he knew just what to do. The brothers gratefully accepted his offer. Adding his own camel to Ali Baba's 39, he divided the 40 as per the will. The oldest son received 20, the next 10, the third 5 and the youngest 4. One camel remained : this was his, which he mounted and rode away. Scratching their heads in amazement, they started calculating. The oldest thought : is not 20 greater than the half of 39? Someone must have received less than his proper share ! But each brother discovered that he had received more than his due. How is it possible?
