ANSWER 70
Explanation for the ANSWER 70
Let us re-write all the equations in form of letter;
C + C + C = 60 ——- (1)
P + C + P = 40 ——- (2)
Pi + Pi + P = 20——(3)
C + Pi X P = ? ———-(4)
From (1)
3C = 60
Therefore;
C = 20 —————(5)
From (2)
2P + C = 40
Substituting value of C in the equation;
2P + 20 = 40
2P = 20
P = 10 ————-(6)
From (3)
2Pi + P = 20
Substituting value of P in the equation;
2Pi + 10 = 20
2Pi = 10
Pi = 5 —————(7)
From (4)
C + Pi X P = ?
Substituting value of C,Pi & P in the equation from (5), (6)
& (7)
C + Pi X P = 20 + 5 X 10 = 20 + 50 = 70

Answer to Deductive Thinking Puzzle
Give 1 to 3 Reasons for your
Answer
This probably seems a
Murder.
Reasons :
1. All things in the room are
scattered as someone
was in a fight here.
2. The Mug and Laptop are
on the left side which
indicates that the person was
left handed but the gun is on
the right side which is highly
improbable if it was a suicide.
3. One of the windows is
open and we can see a man
running in the other window.
(may be the murderer)
