CAN ANYONE SOLVE THIS AND REPLY ME THE ANSWER.
Three friends went to a hotel. The bill was Rs 75/- Each one contributed Rs.25/-. The waiter took the bill to the cashier. The cashier was happy & decided to give them a discount of Rs.5/- & asked the waiter to return them Rs.5/-. Now the waiter was confused. How to distribute Rs 5 among 3 persons? He kept Rs 2 in his pocket & gave one rupee to each one of the 3 persons. So initially each one had contributed Rs.25. Now as they are given 1 rupee back, their contribution reduces to Rs 24. They all contributed Rs 24 -- that is 24x3=72 & 2 rupees are in the waiters pocket. The total becomes 74. But they had paid Rs 75. Where is the remaining 1 rupee?.
Scroll down . . . . . . . . . . . . . .God help me . . . . Check your pocket for 1 Rupee.
I do not know the answer. If you have solved this please let me know where is that one rupee. Eat something and try again.
