Math Puzzle – Wall Clock x Football – Table Fan = ?

Answer: 4

Solution:

You might want to solve it simply like this

First equation: Football + Football + Football = 18 => Football = 18/3 = 6

Second Equation: Wall Clock= 9/3 = 3

Third Equation: Table Fan * Table Fan  – Table Fan = 6 => (Table Fan) x (Table Fan – 1) = 6

from 3×2 = 6 => Table Fan = 3

Thus Wall Clock x  Football – Table Fan = 3 x 6 – 3 = 15

BUT, if you look carefully, it is not a simple math equation puzzle, football in last equation is different than other, wall clock in 4th equation having different time than the ones in second equation, similarly table fan has 2 blades than 3.

So how do we solve it?

In the first equation black marks on Football are 6, therefore Football value is : 6

In the Second equation clock shows 3pm.. so clock value is 3

In the third equation, table fan has 3 blades, thus having a value of 3, OR you can say a table fan with 3 blades has value 3, thus with 2 blades should have a value 2.

In last equation clock is 2 and Football marks are 3, and table fan has 2 blades

thus 2×3 -2 = 4
