Thanks Arvind, can you explain how you arrived at answer?
solution
correct ans 2375
ANS IS 2375 (2375+2375 = 4750 -2000 =2750+2750 =5500-2000=3500+3500 =7000-2000 =5000 LEFT
How did the ans come yaar?….what’s the correct method?
Let’s brother has Rs B initially.
First sister Visit: B+B-2000=2B-2000
2nd Sister visit: (2B-2000)+(2B-2000)-2000=4B-6000
3rd sister Visit: (4B-6000)+(4B-6000)-2000=8B-14000
this is the amount left after visiting his sisiters
Then
8B-14000=5000
8B=19000
B=19000/8
B=2375
Correct answer is 2375
