Question 1: Suresh wants to sell a nice collection of tamil song records that he has. He sold half of his records plus a half record more to Raja for 150 rupees and then he sold half of what was left and a half record more to Ramesh for 100 rupees. At this point Suresh had one record left. How many records did Suresh have originally?
Answer: 7 records.

 

Question 2: There is a bridge 4 kilometers long and strong enough to hold 10,000 kgs but nothing more. A fully loaded lorry weighing exactly 10,000 kgs drives on this bridge.  Halfway through a sparrow weighing 30 gms lands on the truck, yet the bridge doesnt collapse. How can that happen?
Answer: By the time the lorry comes to the middle of the bridge (2 kms) it would have already burnt more than 30 gms of fuel.
