You even got the answer wrong. You are not a good mathematician.

2 men are occupying a position and each of them signifies 15. Total number occupying that position is 30. You gat to think like a mathematician and stop claiming you know whereas u do not know.


The interviewer brought out that? And he said 36 was the answer . Stop misleading pple with ur itk

verygudbadguy:


To start with, I don't understand your post. Try and make it understandable. I would have ignored you but for the sake of some others going through the thread, I would point out something.
Your question says 2 men while my question shows just one woman in eq1, one man in eq2.

Goodbye.

Some persons will dodge this thread like a plague.

36 is the only sensible answer that question can have, given the current level of details.

There's nothing in the pic to indicate that two men standing together is not a sum but a multiplication. If you want to imply multiplication in cases like this, you either use the multiplication sign or the dot notation.

It's against good old common sense to even assume that if I hold two 100 naira notes together, I have 1000 naira and not 200 naira.

36...

and what ll I earn from this ?

najib632:
whats the answer please?

verygudbadguy:
OK lemme drop the solution.

Let's make the woman x and the man y
x+x= 12.... Equation 1
2x=12
x=6

y+y=30
2y=30
y=15

From equation 2,
y.y+6
15*15 + 6
225+6
=231
Congrats to everybody who got it right. It means you were good in primary school.
To those who failed it, means u were below average in elementary maths.

And those guys that modified after seeing the correct answer, you are on your own.

Iefosa:
Alot bruh, because the answer is actually 231

dejavubobo1:

ohh guess it is multiplication & not addition ... right ?

fuke:


2x is 2 mltiplied by x.

xx is x multiplied by x

verygudbadguy:
Well, I did. Let's see if you can.

Fastest finger, your time starts now

Lalasticlala, mynd44, please, let's get a bigger audience.

1515+6 = 1521

If you doubt me, try the puzzle below if your 'two-objects-together-are-squared' logic wouldn't fall flat on its face.

verygudbadguy:

Bro, when 2 variables are placed side by side, it means multiplication. For instance, xx means X multiply by X.

If we are asked to value of xx when x=5, what it means is 5*5 and not 55

verygudbadguy:

Let ice cream be x, burger be y and chips be z
From eq 1, x+x+x=30, 3x=30, x=10
From eq 2, x+y+y=20, 10+2y=20, 2y=20-10, 2y=10, y=5
From eq 3, y+z+z=9, y+2z=9, 5+2z=9, 2z=9-5, 2z=4,z=2

To solve for eq 4, substitute the value of x, y and z into:
y+z+x
5+2+10=17

To proof:
From eq2, x+y+y=20, 10+5+5=20

To proof further;
From eq3, y+z+z=9, 5+2+2=9

Bahddo:
wrong. [b]Poor attention to details. [/b]Look carefully. There are two pairs of chip packs in equation 3, that is, two pack of chips together added to another two packs of chips. It's the same as the two men side by side that you guys called a square are not a sum.

The bolded is why I don't like to comment on here. Anyways, I have not even checked the picture. I need not because I don't appreciate people talking down.

From your argument, did you see two different men in the one I posted. This is supposed to fun and at d same time educative but I don't see all that.
