Answer / shibu.k.v

money taken by each person = 24
So, total = 24*3=72
money given to book seeler = 70
so,
now the balance = 2
( the servent kept the balance Rs.2)

Now, "70+2+3=75" ( Rs.3 is the total money, the servent
returned to each person. ie; 1+1+1=3)

Answer / srinivas

1)total cost of the books = 70

so each person share will be (70/3) = 23.333333

2) servant returned one rupee each, so if u add up 1+23.333
it will be 24.333

3) servant kept 2 rupees for himself

(23.3333 * 3) + 3 + 2 = 75

Answer / prathiba

amount given to the servent=25*3=75 which means each one
has given 25rs
amount used by the bookseller=70rs
amount received by the servent from the seller=5rs
amount kept by the servent is=2rs
'' got back from the servent is=3rs,1 rupee each(1*3=3)
therefore,the amount used by each is =24rs each.which
means24*3=72.
amount kept by the servent=2rs.so,72-2=70
left over 3rs r with them.
{or}

24*3=72
amount each got =1,1*3=3
72+3=75.
amount received by the sevent is 5rs,so75-5=70.

Answer / vignesh

actually the total amount that is given by them is 75.
but the servant gave 5 rs back.
then they are having 70 rs now...
this time that servant is taking 2 rs back now they are
having 72 in total...
so 75-72=3 rs
that 3 rs is shareed by three of them as 1 rs each

Answer / v.selvakumar

actually book rate is 70 rs only, so each of them give 24
24*3=72, remaining balance 2rs is given to
the server.

Answer / roopam

Amount given by three friends: 25*3= 75
Amount kept by servant =2 //equation1
Amount with book seller = 70 *//coz 3 rs servant passed to friends//*
So, total amount kept by servant and book seller = 72 //equation2
After getting 1 rs each … suppose they spend 24 rs again =24*3=72 //equation3
then comparing equation 2 and 3 ,it is same.. no need to add equation 1 bcz it is already added in equation 2..
P.S no money is lost !! :)

+
1*3=3

Ali Baba had four sons, to whom he bequeathed his 39 camels, with the proviso that the legacy be divided in the following way : The oldest son was to receive one half the property, the next a quarter, the third an eighth and the youngest one tenth. The four brothers were at a loss as how to divide the inheritance among themselves without cutting up a camel, until a stranger appeared upon the scene. Dismounting from his camel, he asked if he might help, for he knew just what to do. The brothers gratefully accepted his offer. Adding his own camel to Ali Baba's 39, he divided the 40 as per the will. The oldest son received 20, the next 10, the third 5 and the youngest 4. One camel remained : this was his, which he mounted and rode away. Scratching their heads in amazement, they started calculating. The oldest thought : is not 20 greater than the half of 39? Someone must have received less than his proper share ! But each brother discovered that he had received more than his due. How is it possible?
