tricky qns !!
m going to ask you three questions. And you have to answer them instantly. You can't take your time you have to answer immediately. Let's find out just how clever you really are ........ First Question: You are participating in a race. You overtake the second. What position do you finish? Second Question: If you overtake the last then you arrive...? Third Question Subject: *Very very Tricky maths! Note: This riddle must be done IN YOUR HEAD ONLY and NOT using paper and a pen. Try it. Take 1000 and add 40 to it. Now add another 1000. Now add 30. Another 1000. Now add 20. Now add another 1000. Now add 10. What is the total? Answer to the Questions
5000
answer all 3
First question : First, if i maintain my rate till the end. But it cant be said whether the second one will always be behind me. Second question: Second last, if i run at the same rate till the end. Third: It is 4100. @salini, how did u get 5000?
NOW! See the answer below.. First Quetion Answer: If you answer that you arrived first, then you are absolutely wrong!!! Cause you overtake the second and you take his place so you arrived second!!! To answer the second question don't take as much time as you took for the first question. Second Question Answer: If you answer that you arrived second last then you are wrong again. Tell me, how can you overtake the LAST !!!! The question is wrong! You're not very good at this are you??? Third Question Answer: Did you get 5000? The correct answer is actually 4100. Don' t believe it? Check with your calculator! The decimal sequence confuses our brain, that always jumps to the highest decimals (100s instead of 10s).
yeah!!!!
But I didn't understand the answer to the third question: 4100? See, if we add, we get, 1000+40+1000+30+1000+20+1000+10 = 5000 rite?
See, aadarsh, there are 4 1000's. That would give 4000 on addition. The remaining 30,30,20 and 10 add up to 100.So, the total is 4100.
OOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! We should proceed like tis???????
Ya, that would make sure u make no mistake
Thanks a lot!!!!!! Really witty question!!!!!!!
