Farmer, 3 sons and chapatis

January 19, 2015 by Sagar Chaure Leave a Comment

A farmer’s wife made some chapatis…the farmer had 3 sons…. The fist son came, gave one chapati to the dog,and made three equal parts of remaining chapatis, ate one part of it and left the other two parts for his brothers….other two sons came one after the other and did the same thinking that they came first…then at night all three came to the house, one of them gave one chapati to dog and made three equal parts and the three brothers ate one-one part of it… If no chapati was broken in pieces then how many minimum number chapatis did the mom made?

Lets say their mom made x chapatis
number of chapatis left after first son: 2(x-1)/3
number of chapatis left after second son: 2(2(x-1)/3 – 1)/3 = (4(x-1) – 6)/9 = (4x -10)/9
number of chapatis left after third son: 2((4x -10)/9 -1)/3 = (8x – 20 – 18)/27 = (8x – 38)/27
they ate ((8x-38)/27 -1)/3 chapatis each in the night

So it should be an integer value, lets say it is y, where y is an integer.
(8x-38 – 27)/81 = (8x – 65)/81 = y
x = (81*y+ 65)/8 = 10y + (65+y)/8 = 10y + 8 + (y+1)/8
as x should also be an integer
y can be => 7, 15, 23, ….
x can be = 79, 160, 241

minimum value of x is 79.

Find the value of (A+B)

January 2, 2015 by Gurram Mahendra Ranganath 3 Comments

A*(4+(B/100))=108.81
find the value of (A+B) by solving the above equation

Check your answer:-

Click here to See SolutionHide
A*(4+(B/100)) = 108.81

4A + AB / 100 = 10881/100

4A + (AB/100) = 108 + (81/100)

So,

4A = 108 and AB/100 = 81/100 => AB = 81

Hence

A=108/4=27 and by solving AB 81, B = 3
Thus A+B = 30

Four digit number in aabb

December 24, 2014 by puzzler 3 Comments

There is four digit number in aabb form and it is a perfect square. Find out the number.

Check your answer:-

Tried enough already?
Click here to See AnswerHide

We can expand aabb as

=> 1000a + 100a + 10b + b
= 1100a + 11b = 11(100a + b)

for 11(100a +b) to be a perfect square 100a + b should be a multiple of 11 where a and b both are integers and single digit numbers.

lets say 100a + b = 11y, here y should also be a perfect square (such that 11*11*y is a perfect square), i.e. 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36

If you try to solve this, where a and b are single digit integers and y is also a perfect square, you can see one possible values of a and b are 7 and 4, where y = 64.

Thus the number should be 7744, it is a perfect square of 88.

Four rivers and three temples

November 5, 2014 by puzzler 6 Comments

Puzzle Time:
Four rivers and three temples

All the rivers are magical, moment a worshiper crosses a river with any number of flowers, it becomes double. (For eg 1 flower becomes 2 flowers, 2 become 4 and so on).

How many minimum number of flowers a worshiper needs 2 carry from beginning such that he offers equal number of flowers in all the three temples, and he is left with zero flowers at the end of fourth river.

Solve this ??

Check your answer:-

Lets assume that he offers x flowers at every temple, thus he must have only x flowers left at the end of 3rd temple, otherwise he will not have zero flowers at the end of fourth river.

also we can say that after offering flowers at second temple he should be left with x/2 flowers.
similarly after offering flowers at first temple he should be left with (3x/2)/2 flowers.
Thus he should be carrying (x + 3x/4)/2 flowers initially, i.e. 7x/8 flowers initially.

For number of flowers to be integer, x =8, thus he must carry 7 flowers initially and offer 8 flowers at each temple.

Here as there are no braces, operators will work as per their precedence.
division and multiplication has same precedence and addition and subtraction has same precedence. Also / and * has higher precedence then + and -.
Thus first % and * should operate, now they being of the same precedence, they will work from left to right order thus % will operate first and the * will work on its result.

Thus 36%6*3 -9 +1 => 6*3 -9 +1 => 18 -9 + 1=> 10

October 23, 2014 by Prateek Shukla 7 Comments

There are 7 people numbered as 1 to 7.
The number denotes their height.
Arrange them in a line in such a manner so that the line appears in alternative of their heights, I.e. one short then long, again short then long.
The condition is that, if one by one member(remove 1, then 2, then 3) from the line is omitted, the order of their height remains alternative.

When do you have Rs.60

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?

Check your answer:-

Tried enough already?
Click here to See SolutionHide
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.

Which is better scheme?

October 15, 2014 by Essaki Muthu 3 Comments

For a TV (worth Rs. 50000), a showroom announced two discount schemes.

First scheme is 65% discount.

Second scheme is ‘Ten times 10% discount on price over and over’.

Which one do you choose and why?

Check your answer:-

Tried enough already?
Click here to See SolutionHide
Lets say initial price is X rs, price after 10% discount will be.

X – X*10/100 = 90X/100, final price is 9/10th of initial price.

Thus price after 10 times discount of 10% over and over will be X(9/10)^10 = 0.3486X.

While price after 65% discount will be 0.35X.

Thus it will be more beneficial to choose Second scheme.
