Q11 LOGICAL PUZZLES

A confused bank teller transposed the rupees and paise when he cashed a cheque for Shailaja. giving her rupees instead of paise and paise instead of rupees. After buying a toffee for 50 paise, Shailaja noticed that she was left. with exactly three times as much as the amount on the cheque Which of the following is a valid statement about the cheque amount?

(1) Over Rupees 13 but less than Rupees 14

(2) Over Rupees 7 but less than Rupees 8

(3) Over Rupees 22 but less than Rupees 23

(4) Over Rupees 18 but less than Rupees 19

Let the value of cheque be x Rs and y ps and the amount she received is y Rs and x ps.

After 50 ps is deducted she has the amount which is 3 times the amount on cheque,

So 100y+x-50 = 3(100x+y) (After converting the amount in paise)

y= (299x+50)/97 =3x+ (8x+50)/97

Now both x and y are integers, so from options we put x=18,

(8x+50)/97-194/97 -2 which is an integer.
