At IIM, I was told that IITians solved such puzzle when they were at their mother's knees.
I had encountered this, when I was in Standard VI (that is how it used to be written - in Roman numerals).
I had solved it in this manner :
Let the initial amount be x.
At the end of the first month, i.e. in the second month the money would become 2x and considering Rs. 100 withdrawal, it will be :
2x-100
In the third month the above amount will double and considering Rs. 100 withdrawal, it will be :
(2x-100)2 - 100
Similarly for the fourth month :
{(2x-100)2 - 100}2 - 100
In the fifth month, after Rs. 100 withdrawal, it becomes zero. So, the equation for money in bank will take the form :
[{(2x-100)2 - 100}2 - 100]2 - 100 =0
Solving the above,
[{(2x-100)2 - 100}2 - 100]2 = 100
or, [{4x-200 - 100}2 - 100]2 = 100
or, [8x-400 - 200 - 100]2 = 100
or, [8x-700 ]2 = 100
or, 16x-1400 = 100
or, 16x = 1500
or, x = 1500/16
or, x = 93.75
One of my class-mate, who joined IIT later, chided me for taking lengthy intervening steps, and suggested the following :
Total amount in bank at the end of 4 months (begining from the second month) would be :
(x multiplied by 2 raised to power 4) - (2 raised to power of 4 -1)100 =0
or, 16x - 1500 = 0
Solving for x you get, x= 93.75
