RIDDLES ROUND
1) A lady buys goods worth Rs. 200 from a shop (shopkeeper selling goods with zero profit) lady pays with a 1000 Rs note to the shopkeeper. He gets change from the next shop & keeps 200 for himself & returns 800 to the lady. After sometime the next shop owner returns the 1000 Rs. note saying it is fake & takes the money back. How much loss did the shopkeeper suffer?
Answer: Rs 1000 Profit or Loss= Money Received-Money Given In this case, Fake note is Equivalent to Rs. 0 So, Actual Money Received= Rs. 0 (Lady) +Rs. 1000 ( Neighbour ) ---------------------------------- Total= Rs. 1000 ---------------------------------- Money Given=Rs. 200 (Goods) Rs. 800 (Change to Lady) Rs.1000(Neighbour ) ---------------------------------------- Total=Rs. 2000 ---------------------------------------- Profit/Loss= Money Received-Money Given =Rs.1000-Rs.2000 =Rs. -1000 Thus a Loss of Rs. 1000
2) How can you add eight 8's to get the number 1,000? (only use addition) Answer: 888 +88 +8 +8 +8 =1,000
