If u r pursuing CA than crack it-2

Three men in a cafe order a meal the total cost of which is $15. They each contribute $5. The waiter takes the money to the chef who recognizes the three as friends and asks the waiter to return $5 to the men.

The waiter is not only poor at mathematics but dishonest and instead of going to the trouble of splitting the $5 between the three he simply gives them $1 each and pockets the remaining $2 for himself.

Now, each of the men effectively paid $4, the total paid is therefore $12. Add the $2 in the waiters pocket and this comes to $14.....where has the other $1 gone from the original $15?

I will tell the solutions after getting ur responses

 

Now an emotional puzzle also

You are driving down the road in your car on a wild, stormy night, when you pass by a bus stop and you see three people waiting for the bus

  • An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.
  • An old friend who once saved your life.
  • The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.

Knowing that there can only be one passenger in your car, whom would you choose?

Give me responses if u dont know just guess it.......

Answer to ur 1st Q :

 

The $1 doesn't exist.

When the waiter returns the $3 to the three men, they all paid $4, which makes $12. The chef has $10 in his pocket and the waiter has $2 in his pocket.

Look at it like this. The men each contribute $5, which is 3 x -5 = -15. The waiter returns each man $1, which is 3 x 1 = 3. The chef keep $10, and the waiter keeps $2.

-5 'is taken from man 1
-5 'is taken from man 2
-5 'is taken from man 3
+10 'is given to the chef
+2 'is taken by the waiter
+1 'is given to man 1
+1 'is given to man 2
+1 'is given to man 3

See? ;-)

 

I'll hand over the car to my old friend and ask him to save the dying old lady.

 

And lateir, i'll, along with the pretty girl, can come by bus.

for second puzzle

I would give the car keys to my old friend, and let him take the lady to the hospital. I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the partner of my dreams

 

 superb dhiraj

but i cud not understand what this is to relate with doing CA?? or pursuing CA??

thanx girish

It means the our iq level is enough to slove these types of questions

Explanation for the 1st Ques:

Actually the $2 kept by the waiter is already included in the $12 paid by 3 men. So there is no point in adding these two figures.
