You entered a room of 34 people. A shooter then enters killing 30. How many people are left in the room?
Answers
The answer is 36
Step-by-step explanation:
When I entered the room, the total count of people in the room became
34 + 1 = 35
When the killer came in, the number increased by 1 more. So,
Total people in the room = 36
Now, the shooter killed 30 people but it is not mentioned whether he removed those people from the room or not. So, we assume that all the people are in the room including me and shooter because it is not mentioned if the shooter ran away or not.
So, total number of people would be 36
There are total 36 people in the room.
Reason :
- The sentence 'You entered a room of 34 people' says that the room was already occupied by 34 other people before my entry.
- So, on my entry, the count became 34+1 = 35 people.
- Then, A shooter entered killing 30 people.
- So, now with us 35, the shooter was added in the room, making the count 35+1 = 36 people.
Therefore, the total no.of people present in the room is 36.
