Three friends AP, KP, NP went to cloth shop and all of them
bought one hand kerchief each. Each one costs 10Rs....
So all the three together paid 30Rs.... and left..........The
shop keeper felt compassionate for the three friends and sent
5Rs back to the friends through his assistant.... The assistant
sincerely gave 5Rs to the three friends....... Now the three
friends felt compassionate for the servant and gave 2Rs to
servant and each one took one rupee....
Now each one paid 9Rs per kerchief. So the total amount they
paid for the kerchieves is 3*9 =27
and they gave 2Rs as a tip to the assistant. So the total is
27+2 = 29.
But they paid 30Rs to the shop keeeper.......... So where is the
missing one rupee

@Kranthi: The cost of Kercheif as a total is 25, so when u
divide by 3 it becomes 8.33........... They get back 1 from the
shop keeper, so cost of kercheif for each guy is 9.33 not 9, so
thats where u missed one ruppee with ur words...

@KP So if they have paid 9.33 per kerchief then how is it they
get one rupee back............They should be getting 0.67 rupee
isn't it?????????

The total cost is 25 + 2(tip to the assistant) right? which is
27 - So total cost is 27
where each one pays 9 rupees .
So total is 27 + 3 rupees which they got?

Each one pays 25/3 = 8+1/3 rupees.
Eachone gifts 2/3 rupees for the servant.
So each one has spent 8+1/3+2/3 = 9 rupees, and got back 1
rupee.
So eachone 10 rupees and all together 30. Levelled.

@Kranthi: It s not 0.67....... 0.33 * 3 = .99 which is
approximately equal to 1 thats where the one rupee is
lost.......

Ya But you wrote that Each person spent 9.33 per kerchief, which
is not.......................
May be you wanted to write in this way..............
If it is 25 rupees then each person spent 8.33 per kerchief and
they gave 0.67 for the assistant.......................
I did not understand how each paid 9.33 per kerchief
