There are three friends Aditya, Bishnu and Charles. They go on a picnic to the Corbett National Park. Aditya buys five sandwiches and Bishnu purchases three for some amount.

    By The way I understood the answer as posted by ES, 50ps is correct.
    Total 8 sandwiches. Charles paid his share - 4Rs. So each has to pay 4. So, in total 12Rs for 8 sandwiches(12Rs for 8 sandwiches!!!!!!!! - Must be in 1947 😛 ). Bishnu paid for three- 4.5Rs. Since the share is 4Rs, he gets 50ps back.

    But one question that I had was - Are we account 12Rs for what Bishnu purchased??? or Does it also account for the five, bought by Adithya??? The latter justifies the above explanation.
