211 views

Ash, Ben and Charles are playing a game about numbers. After Ash randomly picked 2 natural numbers in \left { 1,2,3,...,9 \right }{1,2,3,...,9} (the two numbers can be the same), Ash showed Ben the sum of two numbers only and showed Charles the product of two numbers only. Here is the conversation between Ben and Charles:

Ben: I don't know which two numbers Ash had picked, but I am sure that you (Charles) don't know either.
Charles: I don't know either at first but I know now. I also know that my showed result is greater than yours.
Ben: Then I know these numbers now.

What is the result that Ash showed Ben?

Assuming that Neel and Nitin are perfectly logical and are always telling the truth, what was the original number?

I have chosen a positive integer between 5 and 15 inclusive.

I gave Neel the number of positive divisors of this number and Nitin the sum of positive divisors of this number.

Then the following conversation takes place:

Neel: "I don't know the original number."
Nitin: "I don't know the original number either."
Neel: "Now I know the original number."
Nitin: "Me too!"

Assuming that they both are perfectly logical and are always telling the truth, what was the original number?

In which direction is point E with respect to the point D and what is the shortest distance between point F and point D?

Starting from his home, Kay moves 40km towards North. He then takes a right turn and walks 30 km to reach point D. From there, he turns towards North-West and moves 50 km. After which he moved 40 km towards North and reaches a point which is in line with his home and the point where he took the first turn. Then, he turns and travels towards South-West for 80√2 km to reach point F which is inline with point D and the point where he took the first turn. From F, he finally turned 135 degrees towards his right and walked 80 km to reach point E.
