• A shop keeper divides an ice cream brick into two halves, then cuts one of the halves into equal parts each of 20 grams. finally there are 7 portions. what is the weight of original brick?
  
  a.120
  
  b.140
  
  c.90
  
  d.240
  
  solution:
  finally there are 7 portions i.e 1 half portion + 6 equal parts of remaining half portion.
  
  each equal parts is 20 grams. => 6*20 = 120 grams(which is one half)
  
  therefore the remaining half is 120 grams.
  
  total weight of ice cream brick = 120 + 120 = 240 grams

  See it is clearly mentioned that One half contain 5 portions dat means it is talking about the half portion not the whole brick......
  so dat means 5 portions of a half brick
  wat i thnk is it should be
  
  
  5*12=60 ( 5 portion * 12 gm Per)
  60 * 2 = 120 ( for 2 half bricks)
  please let me knw if ny bdy have ny doubt in this..

• a shopkeeper divides an ice cream brick in twoEqual halves,then cuts one of the half brick in equal halves and Each Cutted portion is 12 gms. so one half contain 5 portions and what is the original brick weight?
  
  so answer is 96
  because One halves cutted into 4 piece and 1 is remaining one.
  so
  4*12=48
  another portion is also of 48 gm
  48+48=96.
