1. I have 20 rupees. I bought 1, 2, 5 rupee [COLOR=blue ! important][COLOR=blue ! important]stamps[/color][/color]. They are different in numbers by the reason of no change, the shop keeper gives 3 one rupee stamps. So how many stamp(s) I have.

I am assuming that this is the same kind of thinking... I have $20, and I am buying $1, $2 and $5 stamps, I end up with 3 $1 stamps, how many do I have... You could have 7... 3 $1, 1 $2, and 3 $5 or you could have 10... 3 $1 6 $2, and 1 $5 ??? Correct?

ya since you have 3 1$ stamps already for remaining money 6 2$ stamps and 1 5$stamps, so the answer is 10
