The Mystery of the Missing $1
-
The missing $1 is with either A or B..Originally posted by sunny6110:One fine day, U saw a nice looking shoes which cost $97. U had no $$ and u decided to borrow $50 frm A and $50 frm B.
After buying the shoes, U are left wif $3. U return $1 to A and $1 to B. U r left wif $1. Now... U owe A $49 and B $49.....
So total $49 + $49 = $98.
U hv $1 left wif u.... $98 + $1 = $99....

This isn't a maths question at all. There are so many variations to this. The problem is with the way the question is phrased. -

Its just a trick question... amount u borrowed shd be equal to amount returned ($2) + amount not returned ($97+1) which is $100 and NOT how much u owe+$1 u have with you.Originally posted by sunny6110:One fine day, U saw a nice looking shoes which cost $97.
