Question

Some birds were flying and met a bird on their way. The bird greeted them; hello hundred! They said we are not hundred, we need half of us plus you to make us hundred. Question: How many birds were flying?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

to make 100 we need 99+1 bird which met them on the way

the bird as it said half of them+that bird which met them is 100

198/2+1=100

so number of birds flying=198

Answer 2

Answer:

67

Step-by-step explanation:

Now, obviously the birds were less than 100.

(because in the end they said 'to make us 100')

As they said,

We need half of us + you = to make us hundred

let the number of birds be x,

x (we need) + x/2 (half of us) + 1 (plus you)= 100 (to make us 100)

so,

3x + 2 = 200

x = 66

tadaaa, here's the trick

Question: How many birds were flying?

Total birds flying = x + 1 = 67
