Question

Two travellers were, sitting around a fire, about to have their dinner. One of the travellers had seven sandwiches, while the other had five sandwiches. A third traveller, passing by, requested them to share their food with him in return for money. The three of them shared the sandwiches equally and the third traveller paid the other two a total of Rs.24. Find the difference in the amounts received by the first two travellers.

Answer 1

Answer:

7+5/3

12/3

4 to each

If the 3rd one gave Rs. 24 to two people , then he gave to one person = 24/2 = Rs. 12

If they got the same number of sandwiches , then the amount will be same .

So,

12-12

0 is the difference .
