Can you solve the below maths equation problem by replacing the question mark with the correct number?

Note: It has more than one solution.

Maths Problem With 2 Answer

40 or 96

Explanation:
Solution A :
Add the rhs of the last line to the current line
1 + 4 = 5
5 + 2 + 5 = 12
12 + 3 + 6 = 21
21 + 8 + 11 = 40

Solution B :
RHS = 1ST NUMBER + (1ST NUMBER * 2ND NUMBER)
1 + (1 x 4) = 5
2 + (2 x 5) = 12
3 + (3 x 6) = 21
8 + (8 x 11) = 96

#53 - Employee Count Maths Brain Teaser

A small media company got 20 employees.

The employee consists of reporters, camera-man and the writers
Every reporter earns daily $3, camera-man 1.5$ and writers earn 0.5$

How many reporters, camera-man and the writers are there?

Employee Count Maths Brain Teaser

reporters=2, camera-man=5 and the writers=13

Let the number of reporters, camera-man, and writers are denoted by r, c, and m respectively.

From the given information we can write the following 2 equations;
r + c + m = 20 . . . . . . (1)
3r + 1.5c + 0.5m = 20 . . . . . (2)

Multiplying equation (2) by 2 we get;
6r + 3c + m = 40 . . . . . (2)

equation3 - equation 1
5r + 2c = 20

The unique solution with whole numbers is r = 2 & c = 5

Therefore from equation(1) we can find;
m = 13

=> reporters=2, camera-man=5 and the writers=13

#56 - Lateral Thinking Height Of Red Bar Puzzle

Can you determine the height of red bar with the help of information provided in the picture below?

Lateral Thinking Height Of Red Bar Puzzle

8m

From green bar, we can deduce that
the height of vertical bar = 2/3 of uninterrupted shadow length of the bar.

The remaining red bar casts a direct 1:1 vertical projection on the wall.

Therefore total length = 4m + 4m = 8m.


#57 - Make Equation Correct Riddle

Can you replace each alphabet with the number (1 - 9) to make below equation correct ?

AB * C = DE - F = GH / I

39 * 1 = 45 - 6 = 78 / 2

AB - C = DE / F = GH * I can be solved as
A = 3
B = 9
C = 1
D = 4
E = 5
F = 6
G = 7
H = 8
I = 2

So below equation can be solved as:
AB - C = DE / F = GH * I
39 * 1 = 45 - 6 = 78/2
39 = 39 = 39.
