  How it is Possible?-win reward   3 Nickels awarded!
Tagged with:       [Post New]posted on 17 Apr 2007 20:57:29 IST    
One question for all,
The one who explain fast and best can get reward of SALUTE.
Last time winner : -  Ankur.Khurana wins one salute. But unable to send him because I had put my last article in "non-academic" but now this time I definately give one salute.
 
Rules : -  Who give the best explanation? can only judge by other commentators only..... The ones who have highest votes win one salute from me. Second highest can get second rate.!!
 
My question is that : -
 
Suppose three person go to a resturant. They are charged Rs 25 for their lunch. Each one give Rs 10 to waiter for bill payment. In which Rs 5 is net balance. From which Rs 2 is taken as a tip by waiter and rest Rs3 was given to those three person in equal parts (i.e Rs 1 to each person). Hence, if by calculation the net amount paid by each person is 10 - 1 = Rs 9. Hence total amount paid by three persons is 9*3 = 27. Plus Rs 2 which had taken by waiter. Means net amount is Rs 27 + 2 = Rs 29. Where Re 1 gone?
 
Now net balance not become Rs 30, it is now Rs 29, Where is that Re 1?

the 3 men paid a total of rs30 out of which rs2 was taken as tip. therefore 30-2= rs 28 is to be shared between the three
which is 28/3= rs9.33. so each man gets rs9.33 and not rs9
