3 boys go to the restaurant. Their bill was 75 rs..
So they contributed 25 each. Manager then gives 5 rs back
to the waiter and then waiter gave 3 rs back to them and
put 2 rs into his pocket..
So their actual contribution is 24 because they got 1-1 rs
back. so 24*3=72 and 2 rs into the waiter's pocket. so
74+2=74
where is 1 rs?

waiters money also comes in the 72 rs.so should not add
waiters money extra.24*3=72(including waiters money)+3(each
boy gets one rupee back)=75

Answer / avinash markam
very easy .,,,,,they shear 25 rupee each then
25 X 3 =75
5 rupee discount
& so (a) 3 rupee return them
& (b) 2 rupees in waiters pocket
then 70/3 (70 divided in 3 parts)=23.33
1st + 2nd + 3rd + 3rupee return+ 2rupee waiter
then 23.33+23.33+23.33+ 3(from'a,)+ 2(from'b,)=74.99
so i.e 75 rupee

Answer / abhijeet
Logical answer:
1. Manager (M) wanted Rs. 70 /-
2. Boys (B) are in a profit of Rs. 3/-
(i.e. they had to shell out only Rs. 72/-)
3. Waiter (W) is at a profit of Rs. 2/-
Total = M (70) + B (3) + W (2) = Rs. 75/-

Answer / suraj joshi
i think this is mathematical problem and this is the way to solve it.
A) 25₹ B) 25₹
C) 25₹
and they submitted it total = 75₹
but the actual cost is=70₹
so the manager return 5₹ to bell boy.
bell boy cheat and keep 2₹ own willingness.
now the question why we subtracting in 25₹?we should divide 70/3 = 23.33₹
now each have consumption is 23.33₹.
A)23.33₹ B)23.33₹
C)23.33₹
total = 70₹ and refunded is 3₹ to all partners and bell boy keep 2₹.
then solve it 70₹+3₹(refunded money)+2₹(bell boy keep)=75₹
NOTE- i think we are doing error on 25-1=24. the concept is not pure because three boy has purchase a room and gave 75₹ OK but when the question is on returning 3₹ then
we are subtracting it form 25₹ instead of 23.33₹ .

Answer / satheesh
70 (actual bill) + 2 (waiter took) + 3 (they have got back)= 75.
They just trying to confuse by adding 2 with 72.
72+2=74 and where is 1? - this question really meaningless.
if that so, go by the same way.
72 (bill) + 2 (tips) + 3 (they have got back) = 77.
thus, they have paid 24 each and sums 72 which includes 70 for the bill and 2 for waiter. that's all. this is for calculation of 72.
if you need of 75, go to first.
finally they just begin the calculation from end.
