grp1- 1 to 9 and 90 to 99 => 1-9 twice and 10*90
grp2- 10 to 19 and 80 to 89 => 1-9 twice and 10*(10+80)
grp3- 20 to 29 and 70 to 79 => 1-9 twice and 10*(20+70)
grp4- 30 to 39 and 60 to 69 => 1-9 twice and 10*(30+60)
grp5- 40 to49 and 50 to 59 -> 1-9 twice and 10*(40+50)

Three blue and two red hats puzzle

by 1 Comment

3-blue-and-2-red-hatsAt a party, four people played a game. Three of them sat one behind the other, so that Abe saw Bill and Cal, and Bill only saw Cal, who sat in front and saw nobody else.

Dave had 5 hats which he showed to his three friends. Three of the hats were blue and two were red.

Now Dave placed a hat on the head of each of his three friends, putting aside the remaining two hats.

Then he asked Abe what color his hat was.

Abe said he couldn’t tell.

Bill was asked the color of his own hat, but he didn’t know for certain either.

Cal, though he couldn’t see any hat at all, gave the right answer when asked what color his hat was.

Do you know what color Cal’s hat was and how he reasoned to find out the correct answer?

by 2 Comments

One guy had a habit of spending the money as per the day of the month, for example he will spend $18 on 18th of the month.

Once he spent, $63 in continuous 5 days, What could be the dates ?

 

What was the first day ?

Tried enough already?

Case 1)
lets assume all the days were of the same month, in that case
x + (x+1) + (x+2) + (x+3) + (x+4) = 63
5x = 53
x is coming out to be in decimal, which can not be

Case 2)
now the other possibility is such that month changes after some days

thus there can be few possibilities

A) x + (x+1) + (x+2) + (x+3) + 1 = 63

4x = 56 => x = 14, but 1st cant come after 17th, so it is ruled out

B) x + (x+1) + (x+2) + 1 + 2 = 63
3x = 57 => x = 19, but again 1st cant come after 21, so it is ruled out as well

C) x + (x+1) + 1 + 2 + 3 = 63
2x = 56 => x = 28, this is possible for the month with 29 days, i.e. February of leap year

so thee dates were 28,29,1,2,3
