Where is the missing $1 ?

by 2 Comments

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?

Actually this question is framed to confuse you.
Total given by customers = 3*24 = 72 = 70(with cashier) + 2 (with waiter).
in other words $75 earlier given by customer are distributed as
70(with cashier) + 2(with waiter) + 3(one dollar with each customer).

Make 100 by using five numbers

by 9 Comments

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?

Actually it looks like there should be some way of making 100 by using 5 numbers, but there isn’t. Or may be we are missing something, so if you know any such combination, please share with all of us.
