Then we can form these two equations
Now we can solve above two equations as below
x/2 + 2(y+z) + z = 20 x/2 + 2(20 -x) + z = 20 (replaced y+z from first equation) 40 + z -3x/2 = 20 3x/2 = 20 +z as z > 0 => 3x/2 > 20, x = 14, 16, 18...
We can see that y becomes negative for any value of x greater than or equal to 18,thus x = 14 and 16 are two possible values. we can get the corresponding values of y and z as well.
IF 1= 5; 2 = 10; 3= 30, Then 4 = ?

Three friends went to a hotel. The bill was Rs $75, Each one of them contributed $25. The waiter took the bill to the cashier. For some reason cashier was happy & decided to give them a discount of $5 and asked the waiter to return them $5.
Now the waiter was confused. How to distribute $5 among 3 persons?
He kept $2 in his pocket and gave $1 to each one of the 3 persons. So initially each one had contributed $25. Now as they are Given $1 back, their contribution reduces to $24. They all contributed $24. i.e. 24×3=72 and 2 dollors are in the waiter’s pocket.The total becomes $74. But they had paid $75.
Where is the remaining $1?

These numbers make 200 by summing them all:
2 + 6+ 10+ 14 + 18 + 22 + 26+ 30+ 34 + 38 = 200
Can you take any 5 numbers out of these which adds up to 100?

In this kind of questions we have to find some pattern to get to the answer, we can see that getting first two digit and second two digits are easy, most difficult part in this question is to get last two digits.
First two digit = <first_number> * <second_number>
Similarly Second two digits = <first_number> * <third_number>
Now the most tricky part is to get last two digits, if you observe claverly
Last two digits = <first_two_digits> + <second_two_digits> – <third_number> and reverse them.
Thus the answer to this number puzzle is 366329.

A nice number trick to play with your friends
Ask them, Using the below operations we will get to know what you generally likes to eat
And, take final number’s item from below
Hehe,,, share it with your friends 🙂
No matter what is the number you choose it will come out to be 9.
3x 3x + 3 = 3(x+1) 3*3(x+1) = 9(x+1)
9(x+1) is divisible by 9 and we know that sum of all the digits of a number divisible by 9 is also a multiple of 9, here x can vary from 1 to 9, so the final number can vary from 18 to 90, sum of the digits of these will always be 9.
You can figure out someone’s age from his shoe size, lets apply it to you
The first digit is your shoe size while the last 2 digits are your age 🙂
Now, Share it with your friends to surprise them 🙂
Surprised, How does it work, Check out the explanationFrom step 2 5x 5x + 50 100x + 1000 100x + 2013
What is your age? = Subtract your birth year from the current year, i.e 2013 – your birth year.
Thus after subtracting your birth year on step 6, what remains is 100x + your age.
Now shoe size is generally from 1 to 9 max and your age will be less than 99, so first digit becomes your shoe size remaining two digits becomes your age.
By now, you must have understood, that this will not work for the people with shoe size more than 9 or older than 99.
