Question

Babu has Rs 900 with him. He gave 50% of it to Gopu. Gopu gave of what he got to Dipu. Dipu gave of what he got to Babu. How much money does Babu have with him now?

Answer 1

Total amount with Babu = Rs 900

Percentage amount given by Babu to Gopu = 50%

∴ Amount given by Babu to Gopu = 50% of Rs 900

Percentage amount given by Gopu to Dipu = %

∴ Amount given by Gopu to Dipu = % of Rs 450

Percentage amount given by Dipu to Babu = %

∴ Amount given by Dipu to Babu = % of Rs 150

Since, Babu had Rs 900 with him and he gave Rs 450 to Dipu, the amount left with him is Rs (900 − 450) = Rs 450

Also, Dipu gave Babu Rs 100. Hence, the total amount Babu now has is Rs (450 + 100) = Rs 550.
