Mathematical Puzzle - 1
in Education & Learning
Hello Friends,
As i got positive response from the members,iam starting this mathematical puzzles thread and here is the first puzzle.

Question 1:
In the year 1932,a grandson mentioned to his grandfather that now he was as old as the last two digits of his birth year.His grandfather said "What a coincidence.It applies to me also".
Definitely they both cannot have the same age.How old were they in the year 1932?

If correct answer is not found,i will be post them by tomorrow night or latest by Sep 15th.

Friends,tick your brains and try :-)

    Wow.Good Sajeetharan.You cracked it.

    Grandson was born in 1916. In the year 1932 his age is 16 which is nothing but the last two digits of his birth year.

    Grandfather was born in 1866 and he was 66 years old in the year 1932 which is the last two digits of his birth year.

    I cracked this puzzle.The no of peppers peter had is 18. :) Here is the calculation for that. Let the no of peppers Peter,Paul,Pat,Pam be x,y,z and a.According to the description the equations are given below.

    x = y + 1
    z = a + 1
    x + y = 10 + z + a
    x + y + z + a = 60

    On solving this equations the answers obtained are
    x(Peter) = 18, y(Paul) = 17, z(Pat) = 13, a(Pam) = 12
