Solution:

If you look into the picture, you can see the cut lines. If the four people cut along with the lines, each one of them will have 1/5th of the cake.

Solution:

The Pink servant is the truthful one.

In order to prove the same, let us take all of them one by one assuming that the selected one is telling the truth. This is because all of them are disagreeing with each other which means that three servants are lying while one is telling the truth.

Assume that the Orange servant is the truthful one. Under this condition, the orange one is having either 6 or 8 legs. And each of the other octopus is lying will then have 7 legs. Under this condition, the total number of legs will be 6 + 7 + 7 + 7 = 27 legs or 8 + 7 + 7 + 7 = 29 legs. But the Orange servant said that they have 28 legs all together. Thus he is lying.

Now if we simply follow the same logic with all other servants as well, we will come up to the conclusion that only the Pink servant is truthful.

Solution:

If we take the worst case, she will have to take out 12 + 1 = 13 candies.

Solution:

The smart answer would have been 'I will be quite glad and will take a day off from office to celebrate the happiness with my husband.'

The nature of question is hypothetical and you can answer in the same manner too. Usually the unmarried girls will be shocked at such a question but if you are smart, you can pull it off smartly.

Solution:

You can put one precious stone in any one of the bag and all the rest in the other bag. If you do it, you will get just a shade under ¾ probability of picking up a precious stone.

Solution:

Suppose if there is just one unfaithful husband, then his wife will kill her husband as she must be knowing that all other men are faithful but the queen declared that one of them all is unfaithful.

If there are two unfaithful husbands, then both their wives will believe there is just one unfaithful husband, that too the other one whom she knows. Thus both of them will expect the above case to happen at midnight. But when no one is shot, they will realize that there are two unfaithful husbands and since they know about everyone, they will know that the other unfaithful man is their own husband on the next day.

If there are three unfaithful husbands, each of their wives will be knowing about two other unfaithful men so they will be expecting the above case and will be waiting for the gunshots on the second day. When that does not happens, they will realize that there are more than two and since they all will know about the rest, they will realize that their own husband is unfaithful and they will kill him on the third day.

Thus if we talk about general terms and suppose that there are n unfaithful husbands, their wives will believe that there is n-1 unfaithful husbands and will expect the gunshot on n-1 day. When they don’t hear that, they will realize their own husband is the nth.

Solution:

As per the question, in the beginning
A = 0
B = 0
C = 5
D = 5

Pouring C into B
A = 0
B = 4
C = 1
D = 5

Pouring half of B into C
A = 0
B = 2
C = 3
D = 5

Pouring D into A
A = 3
B = 2
C = 3
D = 2

Pouring A into B
A = 1
B = 4
C = 3
D = 2

Pouring half of B into D
A = 1
B = 2
C = 3
D = 4

Hence we have achieved what was asked.

Solution:

Step1 -> Start running both the hourglasses.
Step2 -> When 4 hours hourglass runs out, turn it over.
Step3 -> When 7 hours hourglass runs out, turn it over.
Step4 -> Again when 4 hours hourglass runs out, turn 7 minute hourglass over (it was running for exactly one minute.)
final step -> 8 minute already passed and allow one minute of 7 hour glass to get over. ==>9 minute

Solution:

The first one cannot be aishwarya, because that would make the first one a liar. The second one cannot be aishwarya for the same reason. So, the third sister must be aishwarya. This means the middle one is kareena and the only one left is katrina.

Solution:

Steps:
* Start both sand measuring glasses at the same time.
* You flip over the small sand hourglass when it finishes the first 5 hours.
* Flip over the large one when it finishes its first 7 hours.
* When the small sand hourglass runs to 10 hours, flip over the small and large sand hourglass at the same time. It means the large sand hourglass will run 3 hours again. When the large sand hourglass run to 13 hours (7 + 3 + 3), flip both the small and large sand hourglass over again to run another 3 hours.
