The Curious Case of the Missing ₹1,000 — Can You Solve It?
Let’s test your brain with this classic money puzzle!
I borrowed ₹50,000 from my mom and another ₹50,000 from my dad — totalling ₹100,000. I bought a water motor that cost me ₹97,000, saving ₹3,000.
From that ₹3,000:
I gave ₹1,000 back to my mom
₹1,000 back to my dad
Kept ₹1,000 for myself
Now I owe:
₹49,000 to mom + ₹49,000 to dad = ₹98,000
Add the ₹1,000 I kept = ₹99,000
Wait… I borrowed ₹100,000 — so where did the missing ₹1,000 go? 🧠💸
Got the answer?
