Answer
WRONG
here is a safe with a 5 digit No. The 4th digit is 4 greater than second digit, while 3rd digit is 3 less than 2nd digit. The 1st digit is thrice the last digit. There are 3 pairs whose sum is 11. Find the number.


simly take number as abcde
A=3E.
D=B+4.
c=B-3.
and total of three pair is 11.
so if E=1 then A=3 and it must take 3 digit such that they make pair of 11. but it not possible.
So E=2.
A=6.
9+2=11 so one of digit must be 9
or
6+5=11 so one of digit must be 5
if b=5 then c=2 and d=9
ABCDE=65292
if
b=4 then c=1 and d=8 which not give any pair of 11.

such a way we can find out the result
Agnes, Boonie, Catherine and Danny are at their monthly business meeting. Their occupations are author, biologist, chemist and doctor, but not necessarily in that order. Danny just told the biologist that Catherine was on her way with doughnuts. Agnes is sitting across from the doctor and next to the chemist. The doctor was thinking that Boonie was a goofy name for parent's to choose,but didn't say anything. What is each person's occupation?

1. Danny just told the biologist that Catherine was on her way with donuts. Imlplies: a. Danny is not the biologist, b. Catherine is not the biologist, c. Therefore Boonie or Agnes is the biologist, d. Danny and the biologist are together at the moment (assuming they're not talking on the phone / chat etc.!), d. Catherine is away not with them.
2. Agnes is sitting across from the doctor and next to the chemist. Implies: a. All the three of them except Catherine are together at the moment, b. Agnes is not the doctor, c. Agnes is not the chemist, c. Therefore Agnes is the biologist (since the bilogist is among the three who are together), d. Catherine is not the doctor or the chemist (since she's away at the moment), d. Therefore Catherine is the authot and Danny and Boonie are the doctor and the chemist.
3. The doctor was thinking that Boonie is a goofy name. Implies: Boonie is not the doctor (assuming he's not musing about his own name!), therefore Danny is the doctor and Boonie is the chemist
1 11 21 1211 111221 ... What's the next number?
the numeral 1 is just one one
one one can be written as 1 1
1 1 is actually two ones.
two ones can be written as 2 1
2 1 is one two and one one
one one and one two is 1 2 1 1
1 2 1 1 is one one, one two, and two ones.
one one, one two, and two ones is 1 1 1 2 2 1.
1 1 1 2 2 1 is three ones, two twos, and one one.
So the next number is 3 1 2 2 1 1.
There were three person each wearing a cap which is either white or black.Two among them cud see the colour of other two but not his own and the third person is blind.
They all are standing together and are questioned one by one about the color of their cap.
When it is asked from ist person he replies" after seeing the color of other two i cant tell what is color of my cap.."
then second one is asked he said "after seeing the colour of other two person cap.. .i cant tell the color of my cap"
then third who is blind said " after listening to their answers .i can tell the color of my cap"

additional information: "all three caps cant be White together"

what is the color of blind man cap.nd please explain how.
f C(blind person) was white,
The possibilities are,
A, B = Blk, White => Fails becos A would have guessed, since other 2 r white.
A, B = White, Black => Since first guy dint guess it means both both 2nd , 3rd guy are not white(one of them is atleast Black). Since 3rd guy had white 2 will have White. But 2nd guy also could not guess.

A, B = Black, Black => Since A did not guess, it means one of them(B,C) is atleast Black. So by this clue B should have guessed that he is Black.

Hence C is BLACK.

C being Black, all other combinations are accepted. check out.
three frnd goes to resto. had food costing them together Rs 45,that means each one payed Rs 15 each respectively.manager returns Rs 5 back to them and waiter takes Rs 2 and hands them with Rs 1 each...that means each one has payed Rs 14 then 14*2=42 and adding the waiter money he took was Rs 2 so equs. becomes....42+2=44 then where is Rs one gone.....


1 rupy is there only. see they have given 45. they got 5 rs back.. i.e 45-5=40. and thye gave 2 rs. as tip 40+2=42. means they have spent total 42. 42/3=14. so they got 1 rs each back.........
