ಚಿಕ್ಕ ಮಕ್ಕಳ ಕಾಲಿಗೇಕೆ ಬೆಳ್ಳಿ ಗೆಜ್ಜೆ ತೊಡಿಸುತ್ತಾರೆ?

 ಬೆಳ್ಳಿಯು ಮಂಗಳಕರ ಲೋಹ ವೆಂದು ಪರಿಗಣಿಸಲ್ಪಟ್ಟಿದೆ.

ಬೆಳ್ಳಿ ಯು ಅದೃಷ್ಟ ಮತ್ತು ಸಮೃದ್ಧಿ ಯನ್ನು ತರುತ್ತದೆ ಎನ್ನಲಾಗಿದೆ.

ಬೆಳ್ಳಿಯು antiimicrobial ಗುಣವನ್ನು ಹೊಂದಿದೆ. ಇದು ಬ್ಯಾಕ್ಟಿರಿಯ ಸೋಂಕು ತಡೆಯುತ್ತದೆ.

ಬೆಳ್ಳಿಯು ದೇಹವನ್ನು ತಂಪಾಗಿಸುತ್ತದೆ.ಮಕ್ಕಳನ್ನು ಶಾಂತಗೊಳಿಸುತ್ತದೆ.

ಬೆಳ್ಳಿ ರೋಗ ನಿರೋಧಕ ಶಕ್ತಿಯನ್ನು ಬಲಪಡಿಸುತ್ತದೆ.ಮಕ್ಕಳ ದೇಹದ ಉಷ್ಣತೆಯನ್ನು ನಿಯಂತ್ರಣ ದಲ್ಲಿ ಇಡುತ್ತದೆ.

ಹೀಗಾಗಿ ಸಣ್ಣಮಕ್ಕಳಿಗೆ ಬೆಳ್ಳಿ ಕಾಲ್ಗೆಜ್ಜೆ ಹಾಕುತ್ತಾರೆ.

Bheja Fry question

 I love to solve simple math puzzles.

I came across this math puzzle on internet.

Question 

3      -        3         *       6         +        2      =        ????

Answer 

These type of math puzzles require BODMAS  rule to solve.

BODMAS  =   Bracket     Order      Division      Multiplication      Addition   Subtraction 

When we apply this rule, we need to follow the arithmetic operations given im the above writen type.

3   -   3  *  6   +  2

According to the law, we need to do multiplication first though it is in the middle of the given puzzle.

3  -  3  *  6  + 2

==>>  3  -  18  +  2

==>> Now we must do addition 

==>>  3  -   16

Now finally substraction 

==>>  - 13

Why I am writing this because till now what all I was successful in solving arithmetic math puzzle,

Final answer was always a positive number !!!!

When I solved this, as we can see final answer is a negative number.

I was little bit suspicious that I myself have committed mistake while solving.

But I got negative number as the answer in the repeatations I performed.

Now I am relieved that this itself is the answer !!!
