I came across this simple problem/riddle floating around in WhatsApp/Facebook and most of the folks got the answer after few iterations or trial and error method...
For a change instead of a puzzle from my end, I thought I will have a a Blog Post taking this example to get different perspectives of the approach taken by individuals
May sound simple for most of you but I personally feel that this exercise is very important for children and it would be good to see how they come up with the solution given how inquisitive they are. That would also help them in the long run to become more analytical/logical rather than follow a formulae/theorem based approach
Q1
a b c
+ a b c
+ a b c
----------
c c c
-----------
Q2
a b c
+ a b c
+ a b c
----------
b b b
----------
Both questions are similar and probably Q1 is easier compared to Q2 but did we use the same approach or a variation?
