Ram, Shyam and Gumnaam are friends.Ram is a widower and lives alone and his sister takes care of him. Shyam is a bachelor and his niece cooks his food and looks after his house. Gumnaam is married to Gita and lives in large house in the same town. Gita gives the idea that all of them could stay together in the house and share monthly expenses equally. During their first month of living together, each person contributed Rs.25. At the end of the month, it was found that Rs 92 was the expense so the remaining amount was distributed equally among everyone. The distribution was such that everyone received a whole number of Rupees. How much did each person receive?

Answer / Pramesh Kumar

First, let's find out how much money remained after covering the expenses: Rs 100 (the total contribution) - Rs 92 (expenses) = Rs 8. Since it was distributed equally among everyone, we can divide Rs 8 by the number of people: Rs 8 / 3 = Rs 2.67 (approximately). However, since each person must receive a whole number of Rupees, one person will get an extra Re 0.67. To find out who that is, we look at their original contributions: Ram contributed Rs 25, Shyam contributed Rs 25, and Gumnaam contributed Rs 25 as well (Gita's contribution was not mentioned but since she lives with Gumnaam, her expenses are likely included in the Rs 92). Since Ram is a widower and has a sister to take care of him, he might be considered more financially constrained. Thus, we assume that Ram gets an extra Re 0.67: Ram receives Rs 25 + Re 0.67 = Rs 25.67 (approximately), Shyam and Gumnaam each receive Rs 24.
