A person wanted to withdraw X rupees and Y paise from the bank. But cashier made a mistake and gav..

Answer / billy busse

One paise = 1/100 of a rupee.

Given the conditions, we know that:

(X*100 + Y)*2 = Y*100 + X - 20
200X + 2Y = 100Y + X - 20

199X - 98Y = -20

We also know that X and Y must both be integers.

So, put the equation in Y = MX + B form:

199X + 20 = 98Y
(199X + 20)/98 = Y

Now put this in the Y= function of a graphing caluclator,
set the table to start at 1 and go up by increments of 1,
and then scroll down the table until you see an integer
pair.

The integer pair occurs at (26,53)

Therefore, X = 26 and Y = 53

Answer / k subramanian

Rs Ps
Original Cheque amount x y
Bank Gave y x
20 Paise spent balance y x-20
Double of Cheque Value 2x 2y
This is same as 2x+1 2y-100 (Here we have used
the fact that 100
paise = 1 Re) We
have removed 100
paise and added 1
Rupee. So the value
remains the same !!
Now we have two equation in x and y such as

2x-y = -1
x-2y = -80

solving these for x and y gives the answer as

x=26 and y=53

Hence the value written in cheque is Rs 26.53

Answer / jyotsna

Since a lot of would not have a graphing calcy, here's what
you can do:
after coming upto (199x+20)/98

remainder of 20/98 = 20

remainder 199/98 = 3 --(1)
we need to find 'y' such that Remainder(199y/98 ) = 20, or
20+199y = multiple of 98

(20 +78 = 98)

78/3 = 26 ( ....from 1)
thus x = 26
and y = (20 + 26*199)/98 = 53

However, all of the inhabitants are either Fairies or Trolls and they all use a spell to appear humanoid so you cannot tell which is which. And the Faries always tell the truth and the Trolls always lie, but there is a slight complication, some of the Fairies have gone insane and always lie and some of the Trolls have also gone insane and always tell the truth. So here is your task: you must ask the first inhabitant that you come to ONE question and from that ONE question you must determine wether Atlantis is still around or not. What is the question that you must ask?
