Price of a Bottle

       A bottle and its cork together cost Rs. 1.10 and the bottle costs re 1 more than its cork. What is the price of the bottle?

Answer:   No, the answer is not Re. 1/- if the cost of the bottle were Re. 1/- and that of the cork 10p then the bottle would cost only 90p more than the cork. Considering it more carefully we come out with the correct answer : 105 paise.
