Question

I have 6 eggs, I broke 2 eggs, fried 2 eggs, and ate 2 eggs. How many eggs do I have left.

Answer 1

The number of eggs left is $\fbox{\begin\\\ \bf 4\\\end{minispace}}$.

Further explanation:

This is a tricky question which tests the ability of a person to understand and comprehend the data.

The statement in the question is given as follows:

“I have $6$ eggs, I broke $2$ eggs, fried $2$ eggs, and ate $2$ eggs.”

It seems that in the above statement, three different cases or three different situations are involved but it is not so, because the given data belongs to one situation.

To solve these types of questions one has to think logically because confusion occurs only when the data is given in a vague form.

In the question, it is given that initially the total number eggs are $6$. So, the person who was hungry decided to eat $2$ eggs. The person breaks $2$ eggs and then fry the same $2$ eggs.

Now, if the person broke $\bf 2$ eggs then it is very obvious that the person will fry the same $2$ broken eggs.

This implies that the person broke $2$ eggs, then fried the same $2$ eggs and then ate those $2$ eggs.

Since, out of the $6$ eggs the person broke $2$ eggs and ate them then so, there are $4$ eggs remaining in the cart.

This implies that $4$ eggs are left with the person.

Thus, the number of eggs remaining with the person is $\fbox{\begin\\\ 4\\\end{minispace}}$.

Answer 2

Answer:

4 eggs are left.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is actually a tricky question and the trick is that the person, who initially have 6 eggs, has broken two eggs out of them.

Those two broken eggs were then fried and later he ate those.

It is a single incident but in question it appears that 3 different incidents took place in which the person have used all 6.

So actually, he only ate 2 eggs out of 6.
