Answer / guest
The lamp cost $ 2.50 and the rug cost $ 2.75
A simple one.
Assume that the lamp cost $ L.
Hence the rug must have cost $ (L + 0.25)
Also, total cost is $ 5.25, Hence the equation :
L + L + 0.25 = 5.25
2 * L = 5
L = 2.50
Hence, the lamp cost $ 2.50 and the rug cost $ 2.75

Answer / kavita rathore
let lamp cost = l
therefore rug cost = (l+25%l)=(l+.25l)=1.25l
a/c to ques.
l+1.25l=$5.25
2.25l=$5.25
l=$2.3333 (cost of lamp)
cost of rug = 1.25l=1.25*2.3333= $2.9125

Substitute digits for the letters to make the following subtraction problem true. S A N T A - C L A U S ----------------- X M A S Note that the leftmost letter can't be zero in any word. Also, there must be a one-to-one mapping between digits and letters. e.g. if you substitute 3 for the letter M, no other letter can be 3 and all other M in the puzzle must be 3.
A blindfolded man is asked to sit in the front of a carrom board. The holes of the board are shut with lids in random order, i.e. any number of all the four holes can be shut or open. Now the man is supposed to touch any two holes at a time and can do the following. ? Open the closed hole. ? Close the open hole. ? Let the hole be as it is. After he has done it, the carrom board is rotated and again brought to some position. The man is again not aware of what are the holes which are open or closed. How many minimum number of turns does the blindfolded man require to either open all the holes or close all the holes? Note that whenever all the holes are either open or close, there will be an alarm so that the blindfolded man will know that he has won.
