Lemme try to explain. Your second answer is correct and the first one is not.

The Correct Answer:.....Mr. Yellow.......Mr. Green.........Mr. Brown
.................................Brown Tie.......Yellow Tie.........Green Tie

Why?

Mr. Yellow says: "Did you notice that the color of our ties are different from our names?"

This implies Mr. Yellow is not wearing yellow tie.

The person who is wearing the green tie says, "Yes, you are right!"

This implies The person wearing Green tie is not Mr. Green

i.e, Mr. Brown is wearing the Green tie

We have this till now for sure:

Mr. Yellow.......Mr. Green.........Mr. Brown
...........................................Green Tie

Now, Mr. Yellow must be wearing Brown tie as he cannot wear Yellow tie.

i.e, Mr. Yellow.......Mr. Green........Mr. Brown
.........Brown Tie...........................Green Tie

So, quite obviously,

Mr. Yellow......Mr. Green.......Mr. Brown
Brown Tie.......Yellow Tie.......Green Tie

Any of the following two combinations are possible:

Scenario A
Mr. Yellow .... Mr. Green .... Mr. Brown
Green Tie .... Brown Tie .... Yellow Tie

Scenario B
Mr. Yellow .... Mr. Green .... Mr. Brown
Brown Tie .... Yellow Tie .... Green Tie

Basically, two combinations are possible because each person can select two of three colours.

Three friends went to a hotel. The bill was Rs 75/-

Each one contributed Rs.25/-. The waiter took the bill to the Cashier.

The cashier was happy & decided to give them a discount of Rs.5/- & asked the waiter to return them Rs.5/-.

Now the waiter was confused. How to distribute Rs 5 among 3 persons? He kept Rs 2 in his pocket &

Gave one rupee to each one of the 3 persons. So initially each one had contributed Rs.25. Now as they are given 1 rupee back, their contribution reduces to Rs 24.

They all contributed Rs 24 . That is 24*3 = 72 & 2 rupees are in the waiters pocket.

The total becomes 74. But they Had paid Rs 75.


Where is the remaining 1 rupee??????? ??


i'm sorry, posted in wrong section.no idea how to move it to jokes & humour.

They paid only Rs70, not 75.

Oh... its a very common puzzle. This is A Common question of TCS Aptitude test.

__________________________________________________ _

Solution:

Last part of the Question is faulty: The total becomes 74. But they Had paid Rs 75

Their contribution reduces to Rs 24. They all contributed Rs 24 -- That is 24x3=72 & 2 rupees are in the waiters pocket.

You should not add 2 to this 72. Because you have to look it this way.
Overall expenditure is only Rs. 72.

Out of Rs. 72 spent by the friends, Rs. 70 is with the Cashier and Rs. 2 with the waiter.

No question of any remainder.

This is simply like reverse counting(10,9,8,7,6) the fingers of one hand and adding 5 for the other hand to make the total number of fingers 11.
