Answers to Maths Riddles and Puzzles


Most of the answers to these Math IQ Puzzles are given below. For some of the Math Puzzles, the answer link is given next to the puzzle. Do click on the link to see the answer to the math puzzle. However, it will be great if one can solve it without looking at the answers and posting their answers in the comment section. These Math Quiz Puzzles are prepared by my wife and she promised to create some more Math Puzzles in the future. Looking forward to readers' feedback on these Math Problems.


A1. Distance covered by bus on one liter of petrol = 24.4km
Distance covered by bus on 16.4 liters of petrol = 24.4x16.4 = 400.16Km.

A2. 2.87700 ÷ 25 There is an easy way to do it without any confusion about decimals. You divide the number with the given numeral without counting the decimal see how it's done below:

The answer is 0.11508 How?? Explained below. 
Now your Quotient (Answer) is 11508. Now count the numbers after the decimals in question there are five digits after the decimals so now you have to count five digits from the back of the answer and then put decimals. your outcome is 0.11508. That’s the answer.

A3. Given:
Product of two numbers =365.55
One number is = 25.5
Second number =?
Suppose the second number is Y.
Then Yx25.5= 365.55
Y= 365.55÷25.5
Y=14.33 is the required number.


A4. The total length of the cloth = 1 2m
Cloth used for dress = 5m 75 cm
Cloth that remains unused = 12m- 5 m 75 cm = 12 m – 5.75 m
( 1m=100cm, 75cm=0.75m)
Unused cloth = 6.25m


A5. Distance covered by man = 2 6 5 km
Time taken to cover that distance = 5 H
Speed = Distance ÷ Time
Speed = 2 6 5÷ 5= 5 3 Km/H


A6. Total Capacity of the tub = 2000 L
Amount of water-filled = 1246 L 40 ml
The volume of water required = 2000 L – 1246.040 L
( 1L= 1000ml, 40ml=.040L) = 753.96 L Ans.


A7. Average Age per girl = Sum of the ages of girls ÷ Number of girls
= 16Y + 15Y 8Month + 12Y 6month + 14Y 4month + 15 Y 9Month ÷5
= 72 Y 27 month ÷5
= 74.3÷ 5= 14.8 Y


A8. Suppose the number is Y
According to question 12.5 of Y= 3.5
12.5 x Y=3.5
Y= 3.5/12.5= 0.28 Ans.


A9. Suppose the Total quantity of metal is Y
Amount of copper = 25% 0f Y= 625 g
25xY/100=625
Y= 625x100÷25
Y= 2500g
Quantity of gold = Y- Quantity of copper
= 2500 – 625= 1875g

A10. We know 24 hours = 1 day
73 hours = 73 ÷ 24 days
= 3 Days 1 hour.


A11. Convert 4:15 pm to 24 hours
4:15 pm= 16 hours 15 mins
Now to find time 6 hours 25 mins before
= 16 h 15mins – 6 h 25 mins
= 15 h 75mins – 6 h 25 mins
( Remember 1 H = 60 mins)
= 9 H 50 Mins.
Converting in 12 hours it's 9:50am.


A 12. Fest began = 26th Jan
Last day of the fest= 15th Feb


A13. A ray has one endpoint.


A14. Weight of Ashu = 52 kg 250 g
Weight of Evanthe = 20 kg 750 g
Difference of weight= 52kg 250g – 20 kg 750 g
= 52.250 – 20.750
= 31. 500
= 31 kg 500g
Ashu weighs 31kg 500g more than Evanthe.


A15. A Scalene Triangle Has All Sides Of unequal Length.


A16. A Triangle can have three acute angles.


A17. Obtuse angled triangle


A18 Diameter Of A Circle= 2 X Radius Of The Circle.
