Solution:

A Question

Solution:

There is no reason whatever why the customer's original deposit of Rs.100 should equal the total of the balances left after each withdrawal.
The total of withdrawals in the left-hand colum may equal Rs.100, but is is purely coincidence that the total of the right-hand column is close to Rs.100.
Let us show another example, but starting with Rs.200 in the bank:
Withdrawals Balance left
Rs.50 Rs.150
Rs.25 Rs.125
Rs.10 Rs.115
Rs.8 Rs.107
Rs.5 Rs.102
Rs.2 Rs.100
Rs.100 Rs.699
Moral of this story? Don't Total Balances

Solution:

Let us denote the number of boys as 'p' and the number of girls as 'q'.

The first statement says that each boy has equal numbers of brothers and sisters
(p - 1) = q
=> p - q = 1 ------- (a)

The second statement says that every girl has twice as many brothers as that of sisters
2 (q - 1) = p
=> 2q - p = 2 ------- (b)

By solving (a) and (b)
We get q as 3 and p as 4.

Therefore, there are 4 boys and 3 girls in the family.

What must be kept in mind before you start calculating through any method is that the weights can be put on both the pans.

So the weights - 1, 3, 7, 12, 43, 76, 102

The oldest man that can be weighed using these weights is a man aged 122 years

Solution:

45 minutes

Explanation :
All you have to do is burn the first rope from both the ends and the second rope from one end only simultaneously. The first rope will burn in 30 minutes (half of an hour since we burned from both sides) while the other rope would have burnt half. At this moment, light the second rope from the other end as well. Where, the second rope would have taken half an hour more to burn completely, it will take just 15 minutes as we have lit it from the other end too.

Thus you have successfully calculated 30+15 = 45 minutes with the help of the two given ropes.
