I Know You're Intelligent. Solve This And Tell Me The Answer ... by Mescopaul(m): 6:12am On Apr 08, 2015
Let's assume you saw a laptop of 97K.
You didn't have the cash, so you borrowed 50K from ur mom and 50K from ur dad = 100K.
You bought the laptop which left you with 3K change.
You gave ur dad 1K and ur mum 1K and kept the other 1K to yourself.
Now you owe your mum 49K and ur dad 49K.
Now 49K+49K = 98K + ur 1K kept = 99K.
Where is the missing 1K?
I know you are intelligent. Solve it and tell me the answer...

No.

Calculate it this way.

50k mom, 50k dad = 100k

Laptop 97k

100k - 97k = 3k

You took N1k, mom N1k and dad N1k = 3k

97k laptop + 1k mom + 1k dad + 1k you = 100k.

So, no money is missing.

You don't add debt and amount left to get the amount. See it this way,97k+1k+1K+1k gives 100k. Or 2*49k + 2*1k paid back to each. Only those should give the total 100 k...
