Sardars do their Calculation jokes

There is a group of 7 Sardars who plan to meet their old friend

the President Dr. Zail Singh

The Sardars decide to take a taxi.

The taxi driver takes them to Rashtrapati Bhavan.

The meter shows Rs. 28/-, so the taxi driver says, "You have to pay me

Rs.

28/-."

Now, the Sardars have to share the cost among themselves and so they

decide

to divide the total (Rs. 28/-) by the number of people, i.e. 7.

This is how they do the calculation to arrive at the answer:

____

7 | 28 = 13 ( 7 x 1 = 7, 7 x 3 = 21 ).

The driver is exceedingly happy upon receiving Rs. 13/- from each of

the

Sardars. He thanks them profusely and the feeling of happiness is

writtern

on his face as he leaves them and proceeds his way.

Seeing this, the Sardars feel that they may have made a mistake.

They decide to ask Zail Singh about it. After all, the fellow was the

President of the nation!

They ask Zail Singh to check their calculation of the taxi fare.

Zail Singh ponders over the calculations and finally says, "See, I am

not

good at division. The process just boggles me but addition is something

I am

an expert at. Let us add all the amounts you guys gave to the taxi

driver

and check the result. This is how I do for those tax forms I get very

often. The process is slow but is sure." The other sardars nod their

heads

(?) in appreciation.

The President writes as shown below and also explains as he writes on:

i.e. 3+3+3+3+3+3+ 3= 21 and 21+1+1+1+1+1+ 1+1=28 so this checks out.

He then says, "Yes, it's correct. But I can also call my close friend

and

Finance man Banta Singh.

Banta Singh arrives, and when told of the problem, he replies that

doesn't think it is a bad deal but says, "No problem! I will verify it

via

mathematical computation. I'll verify it with multiplication. That

the

best technique for this, you see!"

While others watch in admiration, Banta Singh goes on to write as

shown:

--- (7*3=21 ,7*1=7 so 21+7=28)

+ 7

28 This checks out as well.

Then he says, "This is really fine. There should be no problem,

President

Sahab. After all, it is correct in all the methods."
