Brain Teaser 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.... |

Truth is no money is missing... You only borrowed 49 from each(as you have return 1 to each out of 50). Laptop cost 97 and you only have 98 naira with you.. You paid and you have 1 naira left... and that is acclaimed to be with you.. So no money is missing.. |
