Answers
Number of people in the Hall =6
Me a Maniac Entered the room and kill five of them.
Number of people left = 6 -5 =1
The Maniac is still inside the room.
So, Total number of people who are still in the room = 1 + the maniac=1 in number
= 1 + 1
= 2 people
This question can have two different answers based on assumptions:
6 people in a room.
Maniac goes in.
Maniac kills 5 people.
Solution:
Assumption 1: If there were 6 in the room and you go in. It will become a total of seven people now. After killing, if the dead are also assumed to be people, then there are 7 people in the room.
Assumption 2: If there were 6 in the room and you go in. It will become a total of seven people now. If the maniac kills 5 people and the dead people do not account, then, there are 2 people in the room. The maniac and the other living person.
