Ramesh wanted to take out some money using his elder brother Suresh’s ATM card, to buy a gift for his girlfriend. Suresh always made fun of his little brother’s intelligence and told him that he had to decipher a code to know the 4 digit ATM PIN. When Ramesh asked for the code he said “my code is CAKE and 3 EGG is equivalent to one CAKE”. What is Suresh's ATM PIN?

thanks a million

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please check answer is 0001

OpenStudy (fellowroot):

The pin is either going to be 1000 or 0001. You can not determine which one it is from the question alone as addition goes both ways.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it 100% correct...i dint get the logic...y assume y=0?...and the question says 3EGG=1CAKE....wheres the equation from?

OpenStudy (fellowroot):

I made up the equation to model the situation. The only way 1 cake is equal to 1 cake is if there are no eggs. You just have to assume that there are no eggs. Hence y=0.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its not said 1cake = 1cake...he says = my code is CAKE, (pause) and 3EGG=1CAKE

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@neha.sharma8724 are you sure answer is 0001...? whats logic?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how can 1(cake)+3(egg)=1 cake? its not given in question. instead given is 1 (cake)=3(egg)

OpenStudy (fellowroot):

“my code is CAKE and 3 EGG is equivalent to one CAKE” The answer is based on how you interpret the question. My code is, Cake and 3 Egg is equivalent to one CAKE or My code is Cake, and 3 Egg is equivalent to one CAKE. The sentence is not clearly stated.
