three members went to a shop and took 3 kerchiefs each costs 10 rs so total price is rs 30 after they went off the owner of the sop realises that he know the 3 members so he gives the worker 5rs and tells to return them back he gives them rs5 then they gives 2rs tip to him and remaining 3rs they share re1 each so that each gave rs9 to shopkeeper 9*3=27+2rs tip=29 where is the remaining 1rupee ?

• the one ruppe lies with the shop owner only

• Why don't we see it another way??
  
  Shopkeeper got 25 rupees.
  That means he sold each kerchief for (25%3) rupees i.e, Rs.8.33.
  
  So, (8.33*3) + Rs.2 tip + Rs.3 remaining with those three members = 30.
  
  Hence the one rupee lies with the shopkeeper.

• I think another one ruppee don't exist.Because at first when shop owner returned 5rs then he will have 25rs and 3 members given 2rs as tip then he will have 25rs +2rs tip=27 which can be =3kerchieves×9rs .Thus the 3members will have 3rs remaining each.Hence balanced.
  How another ruppee will present?
