answer is:

125/5=25

So the first day Mr. Macho ate 25 hot dogs and gradually picked up every single day with another 25 of them 😉 .

answer is 11 if I have understood the question correctly.

assume he ate x pieces on day 1. Everyday he eats 7 more than the previous.

x+(x+7)+(x+14)+(x+21)+(x+28)+(x+35)=125
therefore x=11

Hope the item was not prepared on day1 and got spoilt , the second day itself😉

X + (X+7) + (X+14) + (X+21) + (X+28) = 125

5X + 70 = 125

5X = 125 - 70 = 55

So, X = 11

Giri answer sarithan aana athu epdi 6 days potte??
appo 6X + 105 = 125 thaane varum??
5 days thane kanakku??

1st Day 97 hot dogs
2nd Day 97+7=104
3rd Day 104+7 = 111
4th day 111+7 = 118
5th Day 118 +7 = 125

Wow! cool topic 😉 Mathsna enakku kanakka kannakka pidikum!


Another teaser!
you should list the numbers 1 through 10 so that no number appears in it's own position... how many ways are there? (eg. 1 should not be 1st in the list, 2 should not be second in the list and so on)...

roja? giri? can you solve this riddle?
