Question

Can you solve the following puzzle

Cost of 1 icecream is Rs.1
Cost of 1 cake is Rs.5
Cost of 100 biscuits is Rs.5

Now you should spend exactly Rs.100 and you should get exactly 100 items
You should have all items.

Answer 1

Answer:

Not possible with given limitations

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the given information, the man has total 100 Rupees and he has to buy the products in such a combination that he uses all his 100 and he gets a total of 100 items among three products.

As per the given information, there will be no combination that will fit the scenario of 100 rupees and 100 items. It is due to;

Case given;

If he buys one packet biscuit he will get 100 biscuits, but only consume 5. Since he already has 100 items, he cant exceed 100. SO in anycase, he cant get all three products spending 100 and getting only 100 items.

This is only possible when he spends all his money on icecream, buying 100 ice creams in 100 rupees but this will only include one product

Answer 2

Not possible.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of ice cream be x

Let number of cake be y

Let number of biscuits be z

From question, we need to buy 100 items, thus,

x + y + z = 100 → (equation 1)

From question, we need to buy all the 100 items for 100 rupees, thus,

x + 5y + 5z = 100 → (equation 2)

On solving equation (1) and (2), we get,

4y + 4z = 0 → (equation 3)

Let us assume the value of y as 1, we get,

4 + 4z = 0

4z = -4

∴ z = -4/4 = -1

The value of z remains negative for any assumption. Thus, the given condition is not possible to solve the question.
