Question

Two friends purchased an article for Rs.50/- each of them having a share of Rs.25/-. The shopkeeper later remembered that there was Rs.5/- discount on the item. He thought to take Rs.2/- and give Rs.3/- to the friends. So, each of the friend's share becomes Rs. 25-1.5= Rs.23.5/-. So, they purchased the item for Rs.47/-. Shopkeeper had Rs.2/-​

Answer 1

Answer:

correct is that the true price should have been Rs45/- but the shopkeeper required them to pay Rs47/-. The Rs2/- is the difference Rs47/- - Rs45/-= Rs2/-.
