Question

Chamila loaned Rs.35 to Mali, But Chamila borrowed Rs.14 from Shama, and Rs.16 from Thanuja Thanuja owes Rs.17 to Shama and Rs.9 to Malee. One day they got together to settle their accounts. Who left with Rs.10 less than she came with?​

Answer 1

Since both Chamila and Thanuja have a negative net amount, they owe money.

Therefore, none of them left with Rs.10 less than she came with.

Explanation:

To determine who left with Rs.10 less than she came with, let's calculate the net amount each person has after settling their accounts.

1. Chamila loaned Rs.35 to Mali, so Chamila's net amount decreases by Rs.35.

2. Chamila borrowed Rs.14 from Shama, so Chamila's net amount increases by Rs.14.

3. Chamila borrowed Rs.16 from Thanuja, so Chamila's net amount increases by Rs.16.

4. Thanuja owes Rs.17 to Shama, so Thanuja's net amount decreases by Rs.17.

5. Thanuja owes Rs.9 to Malee, so Thanuja's net amount decreases by Rs.9.

Now let's calculate the net amounts for each person:

- Chamila: -35 + 14 + 16 = -5

- Thanuja: -17 - 9 = -26

Since both Chamila and Thanuja have a negative net amount, they owe money.

Therefore, none of them left with Rs.10 less than she came with.
