Question
You are a contestant on the hit TV show, Kaun Banega Crorepati and you have already won fifty lakhs. If you get the next question right, you win the grand prize of one crore rupees, but if you get it wrong, you take home six lakh forty thousand rupees.What is the cost of getting the next question wrong compared with getting it right?
Solution
The cost of getting the next question wrong compared with getting it right can be calculated by subtracting the amount you would win if you get the question wrong from the amount you would win if you get the question right.
Here's how you can calculate it:
-
If you get the question right, you win one crore rupees. In Indian numbering system, one crore is equivalent to 10 million or 1,00,00,000 rupees.
-
If you get the question wrong, you take home six lakh forty thousand rupees. In Indian numbering system, six lakh forty thousand is equivalent to 640,000 or 6,40,000 rupees.
-
Subtract the amount you would win if you get the question wrong from the amount you would win if you get the question right.
So, 1,00,00,000 - 6,40,000 = 93,60,000 rupees.
Therefore, the cost of getting the next question wrong compared with getting it right is 93,60,000 rupees.
