Answer 1

This data is accurate and there is no mistake.

but the thing is that we confuse between the balance and cost of things.

In some cases, the sum of cost of things and balance maybe equal but not necessarily always. In this case these are not equal.

You can never tell that how much money you actually had by calculating sum of balance after each purchase. you need to find cost of each purchase and add those.

This riddle is very popular just because it is able to confuse our minds between cost and balance.

Hope this answer helps you clear the confusion.

and keep your promise and mark me brainliest.
