# Q.5 Solve the following riddles, you may yourself construct such riddles. Who am I? (i) Go round a square Counting every corner Thrice and no more! Add the count to me To get exactly thirty four! (ii) For each day of the week Make an upcount from me If you make no mistake You will get twenty three! (iii) I am a special number Take away from me a six! A whole cricket team You will still be able to fix! (iv) Tell me who I am I shall give a pretty clue! You will get me back If you take me out of twenty two!

(i) According to the condition,
I + 12 = 34 or x + 12 = 34
$$\therefore$$ By inspection, we have
22 + 12 = 34
So, I am 22.

(ii) Let I am ‘x’.
We know that there are 7 days in a week.
$$\therefore$$ upcounting from x for 7, the sum = 23
By inspections, we have
16 + 7 = 23
$$\therefore$$ x = 16
Thus I am 16.
(iii) Let the special number be x and there are 11 players in cricket team.
$$\therefore$$Special Number -6 = 11
$$\therefore$$ x – 6 = 11
By inspection, we get
17 – 6 = 11
$$\therefore$$x = 17
Thus I am 17.
(iv) Suppose I am ‘x’.
$$\therefore$$ 22 – I = I
or 22 – x = x
By inspection, we have
22 – 11 = 11
$$\therefore$$x = 11
Thus I am 11.
