Question

Each of A, B, C and D has Rs 100. A pays Rs 20 to B, who pays Rs 10 to C, who gets Rs 30 from D. In this context, which one of the following statements is not correct?

Accepted Answer

Let's track the money each person has after the transactions:

Initial amounts:
A = 100
B = 100
C = 100
D = 100

1.  A pays Rs 20 to B:
    A = 100 - 20 = 80
    B = 100 + 20 = 120
    C = 100
    D = 100

2.  B pays Rs 10 to C:
    A = 80
    B = 120 - 10 = 110
    C = 100 + 10 = 110
    D = 100

3.  C gets Rs 30 from D:
    A = 80
    B = 110
    C = 110 + 30 = 140
    D = 100 - 30 = 70

Final amounts:
A = 80
B = 110
C = 140
D = 70

Now let's analyze each statement:

A) C is the richest: C has 140, which is the highest amount. This statement is CORRECT.
B) D is the poorest: D has 70, which is the lowest amount. This statement is CORRECT.
C) C has more than what A and D have together:
    C has 140.
    A and D together have 80 + 70 = 150.
    140 is NOT more than 150. This statement is NOT CORRECT.
D) B is richer than D: B has 110, D has 70. 110 is greater than 70. This statement is CORRECT.

The question asks for the statement that is NOT correct. Therefore, option C is the answer.

The final answer is C
