Subtracting 36 by 6 until its zero.

Dear All,The Correct answer for this is I have already mentioned above.With RegardsAbirami.J

Hi,
6 can be subtracted only once from 36 ..... the logic is when 6 is subtracted from 36 the reminder is 30 and not 36.....

Fully agree with Abirami, ofcourse 6 can be substract only one time from 36 i.e.
(36-6=30) which is correct answer. You are in confusion as you think that you have to substract 36 from 6 i.e. again (6-36= -30).

HI..FRIEND,
according to me, the answer will be infinite.
why?
36-6=30
30-6=24
24-6=18
18-6=12
12-6=6
6-6=0
0-6=-6
-6-6=-12

Guys dis question is not 2 judge mathematical skill bt logical skills.
Tht was really gud Mr. Abirami.

Hi
The correct answer is 1(One) as Abhirami mentioned.
Same que is asked in various competitive exams like state PSCs etc.
