When do you have Rs.60

(5 votes, average: 2.00 out of 5)

October 18, 2014 by Essaki Muthu 14 Comments

You are depositing Rs. 3 in First day and Rs. 3 in Second day in your account. And you are withdrawing Rs. 4 from your account in Third day. You do this repeatedly. When soon do you have Rs. 60?

After third day you will have Rs.2 in your account (3+3-4). So your account will gain Rs.2 every 3rd day.

Thus you would have reached Rs. 60 in (60/2)*3 = 90 days, but important thing to notice is that you are withdrawing Rs. 4 on every third day so your balance will reach Rs.60 mark earlier than that.

So, if we observe we will reach (60-6)=Rs.54 in (54/2)*3=81 days, and as you will deposit Rs.6 in next two days, you will reach Rs.60 in 83days.

    on the 76th day the balance will be rs,54. By depositing rs. 3 each on 80th and 81st day the total bal will be rs.60. So on 81st day he wil have 60 rs. bal.

    90 days.
    Bcz 3 days = 2 rs.
    So (3*30) days = (2*30) rs.
    Hence, 90 days = 60 rs.

    Ans – 83 Days.
    Explanation – As per the problem, if we group the 3 consecutive days into one single unit, then

    In one unit, total amount in your account = 3 + 3 – 4 = 2
    So, in 27 units, total amount in your account = 2*27 = 54
    Now, 27 units = 27*3 = 81 days
    In the next two days, you deposit 3 + 3 = 6 Rs. into your account, giving you a total of 54 + 6 = 60

    Hence, days to get Rs. 60 in your account = 81 + 2 = 83.
