Solution:

$6 for red sponges = 1 sponges
$87 for yellow sponges = 29 sponges
$7 for blue sponges = 70 sponges

Explanation:
a = red sponges
b = yellow sponges
c = blue sponges

Now using a simple expression:
A + b + c = 100
6a + 3b + 0.1c = 100

Now if we multiply the first equation by 6 and then 3 and then subtracting the two equations, we will be able to get two more equations:

6a + 6b + 6c = 600
3a + 3b + 3c = 300

3b = 500 - 5.9c
3a = 2.9c - 200

Now if you are wondering how will we solve three variables using just two equations, we have to tell you that a and b are non-negative integers. Thus, if 3b >/= 0, then 500 - 5.9c >/= 0.
Using this, c Also, if 3a >/= 0, then 2.9c - 200 > 0. This implies that c >/= 68.97.

But buying the blue sponges is the only way to spend in fraction thus the number of blue sponges that we buy must cost an even dollar amount. Now if you consider the expressions, there can be only two numbers we can buy between 68.97 and 84.75 that satisfies the given condition i.e. 70 and 80.

Let's say that we replace c by 80 in the last two expressions that we have formed above, a will equal to 10.67 and b will equal to 9.33. However, the values of a and b must be an integer and not fraction. Therefore, c can't be 80.

Let us now replace c with 70. After solving the expressions, we will obtain a as 1 and b as 29.

Thus here are the amounts that must be used to buy:
$6 for red sponges = 1 sponges
$87 for yellow sponges = 29 sponges
$7 for blue sponges = 70 sponges

Solution:

You must put labels on the tablets as A and B before using. In that case, if you pour tablets together, you will get 3A, 2A 1B, 1A 2B or 3B. If they are from the same bottles you can take one from another bottle and save the remaining two for another day. If you get two from same and one from other, you can draw one from another bottle and you will have two pairs of which you can eat one and save the other.

Solution:

146900

Explanation:
Whenever you face such type of questions, it is wise to begin from the last thing. Here in this question the last thing will be the 9th temple. He climbed down 100 steps and thus you know, he had Rs. 100 before beginning climbing down. Thus, he must have offered Rs. 100 to the god in that temple too (he offered half of the total amount). Also, he must have dropped Rs. 100 while climbing the steps of the ninth temple. This means that he had Rs. 300 before he begand climbing the steps of the ninth temple.

Now, we will calculate in the similar manner for each of the temples backwards.
Before the devotee climbed the eight temple: (300+100)*2 + 100 = 900
Before the devotee climbed the seventh temple: (900+100)*2 + 100 = 2100
Before the devotee climbed the Sixth temple: (2100+100)*2 + 100 = 4300
Before the devotee climbed the fifth temple: (4300+100)*2 + 100 = 8900
Before the devotee climbed the fourth temple: (8900+100)*2 + 100 = 18100
Before the devotee climbed the third temple: (18100+100)*2 + 100 = 36,500
Before the devotee climbed the second temple: (36500+100)*2 + 100 = 73300
Before the devotee climbed the first temple: (73300+100)*2 + 100 = 146900

Therefore, the devotee had Rs. 146900 with him initially.

Solution:

2100 miles.

Each vowel equivalent to 500 and each consonant equivalent to -200

Solution:

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:

Birbal drew another line that was larger than the pre-drawn line. Now the pre drawn line was smaller.

Solution:

1 2 3 4 5 6 and 7 8 6

Since summation of numbers 1-9(1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9) is 45 , so its impossible to divide into two equal parts.
Since we cant flip over 6 to make it 9 but we can flip 9 to make it 6 and hence the solution

Solution:

17 mins

The initial solution most people will think of is to use the fastest person as an usher to guide everyone across. How long would that take? 10 + 1 + 7 + 1 + 2 = 21 mins. Is that it? No. That would make this question too simple even as a warm up question.

Let’s brainstorm a little further. To reduce the amount of time, we should find a way for 10 and 7 to go together. If they cross together, then we need one of them to come back to get the others. That would not be ideal. How do we get around that? Maybe we can have 1 waiting on the other side to bring the torch back. Ahaa, we are getting closer. The fastest way to get 1 across and be back is to use 2 to usher 1 across. So let’s put all this together.

1 and 2 go cross
2 comes back
7 and 10 go across
1 comes back
1 and 2 go across (done)

Total time = 2 + 2 + 10 + 1 + 2 = 17 mins
