EVOLUTION OF EDUCATION IN INDIA: A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE
It was an overwhelming wish of my wife, Mrs. Adarsh, Advocate, that the manuscript of the four books handed over to her by her late father, Principal Lachhman Dass Bhimbat, be published so that the people of the country may know about their great cultural heritage... The manuscript was in longhand. There were several cuttings and interlineations. It was a tough job to edit the same... We approached Shri Wadehra... He did it...

 Puzzle # 16 The Conventional Approach > Brinda's Bikaneri Bargain
The Conventional Approach
Let n be the number of plates Bikaner Bhujiawala is ready to supply per Rs 1000.
Bengali Mishtanna Bhandaar would give only (n – 2) plates.
If p be the number of plates ordered, she would have to pay p*(1000/n) rupees to Bikaner Bhujiawala and p*[1000/(n – 2)] rupees to Bengali Mishtanna Bhandaar.
Equating the difference to Rs 3,000, we get p = 3*n*(n – 2)/2.
We have two unknowns and only one equation. Where do we go from here?
Would you like a hint?
