Sethi Sir.... ur answer is correct but ur logic is wrong....

coz 'The man' who met the other person(with seven wives) was the only one travelling....

whereas ur interpretation shows dat u believe the answer is 1 coz he met one person while travelling who has 7 wives.....

But the fact is he met a person.... but in the Q. it is not written dat he boarded the bus....

so Mr MBA Finance it may not b a brainstorming Q. but a intelligent one...... which u answered correctly may b by luck.....

Waise u hv addressed the person travelling as Kasoa.... Just for ur info Kasoa was the place where 'The Person' was going......

and u tried to be act smart by putting the answer on the forum...........

Not Happening Dude.............

You are right Mr. Shailendra, I accept my error in answering the question. In my over-enthusiasm , without reading full question, I just answered it and posted in forum( Which is ethically wrong also). My answer was right because I have heard about many more puzzles like this only . Now, I have edited the same . Don't take it on heart , I do accept my mistake.
