    It's mathematics or mathemagic????

    Long ago, a mathematician used to cheat people. Once
    he borrowed
    Rs.4000/- from a rich man. After a few days, he
    borrowed Rs.2000/- from the same man.

    Many days passed, the mathematician did not return the
    money to the rich man. The rich man went to the
    mathematician and asked to return the money.

    But to his great surprise, the mathematician replied
    that there is no
    need to pay the debt.

    "See here, friend" said the mathematician " the sum of
    4000 and 2000 is equal to
    zero, so I do not have any balance to pay".

    The rich man took the matter to the court. When the
    judge came to know
    this, he was astonished. He asked the mathematician to
    prove that sum of 4000 and 2000 is zero, and not 6000.

    The Clever mathematician agreed. He said:

    let a == 4000, b == 2000 and c == 6000

    a + b == c

    Multiply both sides by a + b

    (a + b) (a + b ) == c (a + b)

    a*a + ab + ba + b*b == ca + cb

    a*a + ab - ca == cb - b*b - ba

    a( a + b -c) == -b(b + a - c)

    so a == - b

    a + b == 0

    Hence 4000 + 2000 = 0............

    interesting huh???

                solution to the sum

                hei u know whats wrong in this sum ...

                think about this line in the sum
                a( a + b -c) == -b(b + a - c)

                and he is cancelling the term (b + a - c) from both sides...
                but in this senario a= 4000, b=2000 and c=6000

                i.e a+b-c = 4000+2000-6000 = 0;

                to write a( a + b -c) == -b(b + a - c) to a == - b

                we should divide both sides of the equation by (a+b-c).
                but division by '0' is illegal in mathematics...

                the mathematician was clever and lucky

                      hey !!! gud try
                      I think there is a mistake
                      in the fourth step when u rearranged a's and b's
                      u cannot do that
                      that is where everything cancel out.

                      I think that's the mistake
                      not sure!

                            perfect!! when I am seeing this mathemagic I think that's great but getting the solution I know one thing that undetermined condition Ratio 0/0 is coming which is not possible.
