Riddle time!
Here's a tough nut to crack for u geniuses.
There are 2 friends, A and B. They're off to the market to sell watermelons. Both of them have 30 watermelons each. A wants to sell them at 30 rupees for 3 watermelons. B wants to sell them at 30 rupees for 2 watermelons. A expects Rs. 300 and B expects Rs. 450. They decide to combine their wares and sell them at 60 rupees for 5 watermelons.
They sell all watermelons and get Rs. 720. A takes his share of 300 and leaves. B realises that he has 30 rupees less. All watermelons were sold at the same rate. Then where did the missing 30 go?

actually no money is missing
the problem is b had thought that each watermelon costs rs.15 but actually it was sold at rs 12 each so he thought he got less money but in reality he got correct money but A took lesser money than he had to take he took only 10 for each watermelon.. actually he had to take rs 12 for each watermelon
