Avinash 0 Report post Posted December 30, 2002 I had seen these questions earlier. I am telling truly that I did all correct (both now and at that time). In fact, the question that asks us to add some numbers surprised me. I got the answer 4100. I do not understand why some people will get the answer as 5000. (I must add here that I did the calculations in my mind in Hindi and not in English; did that help?) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
