Question

can you solve this riddle please

Answer 1

Consider that, "s" represents the shoes, "b" represents the boy and "c" represents the cone. Therefore, we get, s + b × c = 30

• s + s + s = 30

• 3s = 30

• s = 10

• b +  b + s = 20

• 2b + 10 = 20

• 2b = 20 - 10 = 10

• b = 5

• c + c + b = 13
• 2c + 5 = 13
• 2c = 13 - 5 = 8
• c = 4

• s + b × c = ?
• = 10 + 5 × 4
• = 10 + 20
• = 30

• ∴ s + b × c = 30

Answer 2

The answer to this riddle is 43.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to analyze the pattern in each row of the riddle given to us;

• In the first row of the riddle;

The value of one pair of shoes is 10, so that;

10 + 10 + 10 = 30

• In the second row of the riddle;

As we know that the pair of shoes has a value of 10, so the value of one boy will be 5 as only then;

5 + 5 + 10 = 20

• In the third row of the riddle;

As we know that the value of one boy is 5, so the value of one pair of the flower will be 4 as only then;

4 + 4 + 5 = 13

• In the fourth row of the riddle;

As we know that the value of one shoe is 5, the value of the boy will be 19 because (10 for shoes + 5 for the boy + 4 for the pair of flower = 19), and the value of one flower is 2, so the equation so formed is;

5 + (19 $\times$ 2) = 43.

Hence, the answer to this riddle is 43.
