Mystery of Re.1

hello, actually they contributed rs 25 & then they were suppose to receive rs 5 back from the waiter that means the actual contri must have been 75-5/3= 23.33

but since the fraction amt was not available so waiter kept the 2 rs ultimately 2/3=0.667 part of share that means the actual share was 23.33+.667=24 was there share as u also mentioned in your question....

the solution is that we dont have to find the balnce 3 rs i.e 75-72 because that is already distributed.....

the full thing is rs 2 which is 70+2 resluts to 72 since actual bill was of 70 & waiter kept 2 rs equals 72 rs & balance 3 rs was distributes ends with a fig of 72+3=75 (Bingo)

Pankaj jee .. You are taken in the straight forward way.. but question is all of them effectively contributed Rs.24 Only. Therefore net contribution is 72 and Rs. 2 is with waiters. Total is 74. Where is Rs. 1

Thumi sachae bharath vasi hai bhai..

DEAR AMIT JI,

ALL THREE FRIENDS ULTIMATELY CONTRIBUTED 24*3=72 (SEVENTY TWO RS.)

2 RS.WERE KEPT BY THE WAITER. WHICH IS ALSO PART OF RS. 72.

HENCE THE NET PAYMENT RECEIVED BY THE  CASHIER WAS RS.70 (72-2)

SO

THEIR IS NOT ANY MYSTERY REGARDING RS.2.

VAIBHAV NAGRIWALA

Hey,

Their final contribution to manager is Rs. 70 and to the waiter is Rs. 2

Thus their total contribution is Rs. 72  i.e. Rs. 24/- each.

They have all got back Re. 1

So Rs. 24 they paid and got back Re. 1 ...Sum total Rs. 25/-

nice question...nd theanswers given by others seems correct.but the answering persons have solved it 4m other way round....

why not now let the question giver give the answer.....

Vaibhav jee there is no mystry of Rs.2 .. There is a mystery of Rs. 1 because effectively every one was contributed Rs.24 only and waiter have Rs.2 .. So total infolow is Rs. 74 but initial outflow was Rs.,75

Actually this is mathmatical error.. Jiska koi reply nahi hai /..

hahahhahahah

Your statement "contribution=72 and 2 to waiter" is erroneous.There is no mathematical error.No confusion here.Just we get confused mixing terms like contribution and discount.

Both Pankaj Sharma and Chirag are correct.Pankaj has explained in a mathematicl way and Chirag has explained it in layman terms.

Simple commonsensical explanation(Commonsense is very uncommon these days!Hehe!)

Step 1: What did they bring initially with them= Rs.75

Step2: What did the 3 guys finally give(forget costing terms like "contribution" etal)=Rs.70 plus Rs.2(to waiter)=Rs.72

Step3:What they finally get back=Rs.3

Step1=Step2+Step3, so there ends the problem.

Also, Step 2 divided by 3(no of guys) comes with Rs.24 and so they got the right amount.

There is no big deal about this puzzle.

Sharma has given a mathematical interpretation where in the 1/3rd is taken into consideration.

what the above person said is 100% correct

there is not mathematical error ...rather error in ur interpretation

But sirjee my question is

Initial Outflow  from 3 person is 25 X 3 = 75

Every one got 1 rs. as a discount

So, Net out flow is 24 X3 = 72

Waither have                   =2

Total Flow of 1 + 2 = 74

But initial flow was 75

Whereis Rs. 1 /.

Sirjee according to u made the calculation and its simple  but still i am with the mystry of Rs. 1

Guys you will try by evening i will give the answer hope all of you will be agreed with that answer

Lets c

Keep try

All the best

There is nothing missing...

The error lies in the question itself...

You cannot add 72 and 2 as 72 includes two given to the waiter..

Coz the actual contribution is 24x3 = 72/- out of which cashier took 70/- and waiter took 2/-.

and they got back Rs. 3

So the Actual Calulation goes on like this........ 25 * 3 = 75 - 3(returned) - 2 (to the waiter)...

Where is the problem?

There is no mystery........!!
