Interesting Puzzle

251

exact 25 soaps by the scrap,

Total 251 Soaps are manufactured and from the scrap ,25 soaps can be manufactured........

22 soaps from the scraps and 2 more from the scraps of the 22 sopas, so total 24 soaps

even i think it's 24 soaps

24 soaps...

I think its 25 Soaps with one scrap

logic of my Answer:

Whn he produces a soap wid 11 parts one remain as scrap. it means net 10 parts are used in a soap. now wid 251 such scraps 25 soaps can be produced leaving 1 scrap at the end.

251-11=240 scrap + one soap + 1 more scrap

241-11=230 scrap + one soap + 1 more scrap

231-11=220 scrap + one soap + 1 more scrap

...............

...............

and so on

at the end

11-11=0 scrap + one soap + 1 more scrap

whn we count all the no. of soaps produced every one will say it comes to 25 wid 1 scrap at d end.

Dear thomas, Darshu, Annie, CA Rajesh, CA Naveen 

I have given answer above,

how it was solved:   solution is here

251/11=22 soaps and 9 as reminder

9 + 22 (scrap)=31 scrap

31/11=2 soaps and 9 reminder

9+2 (scrap from 2 soap)=11 scrap

11/11=1 soap

totoal number of soap= 22+2+1= 25  ANSWER

Dear Navin can you please clarify how 1 scarp is left over ????

I think that one scrap might be from the last soap made out of 11 scraps. am i right?

Dear Amrish u r solving right (juss lik me) but in a different manner. at the end u 4get scrap of last shop(as annie said, thnx annie) which u produced. at the earlier stage u always counted d scrap b4 going to next step then wht for last one?

i produce my answer wid full confidence tht der is no chance of any mistake(even 4 a single scrap). hope u find d answer of ur doubt n accept ur mistake.

and please correct the spelling of My Name its NAVEEN & not NAVIN.

Yes Annie, u r absolutely Right.

n Thanx 4 ur favour 4 right judgement.

Mr. Amrish might be right............and he is first oen to answer........because in question......has asked how many soap can be mamufactured...............I think the answer  25 is right ......no matter of last scrap
