Riddle!!! Please help?!
Question: A & B are orange sellers. They both has to sell exactly 30 oranges a day. A & B charge there oranges Rs.1 & Rs.0.50 respectively each.
Therefore A makes Rs.30 & B makes Rs.15 per day. Hence together they make Rs.45 per day.
One day B got sick and requested A to sell his share of 30 oranges. A now has to sell 60 oranges in a day. He sells his orange for Rs.1 and sells 2 oranges of B for Rs.1(1 orange=Rs.0.5 Therefore 2 oranges for Rs.1).
Now he makes Rs.2 for 3 oranges and therefore Rs.40 for 60 oranges.
Why is there a difference of Rs.5 when they sell oranges together and separately? I don't know the answer. Please help as quickly as you can.

No , he actually will still get Rs 45,
The trick that you mixed two identities together which is mathematically wrong .
So the way you stated the results at the end is wrong , Please remember that you wrongly assumed he will sell 3 oranges for Rs2 all the time , but it is wrong , When B's oranges whill finish in 15 rounds of sale , A still have to sell his remaining 15 oranges individually . ( A's 15 + B's 30 = Rs 30 ) + the ramaining A's 15 = Rs45)
in other words you should handle each identity separately to get the right result .
Mathematics Rules states this ,There is no other answer
Sorry No Idea :D
u lost me ages ago sorry
Because 10 of his oranges that he sells at seller B's price actually belong to seller A.
He is now selling 60 oranges instead of 2 lots of 30. If you sell 1 orange from batch A with 2 from batch B, then batch B will run out quicker. Once batch B has run out, you start selling two thirds of the remaining oranges of batch A at batch B's prices.
Do you understand what I mean?
