1 Rupee Puzzle

on Friday 12 October 2012
This is one of the tricky puzzles asked in interviews.

Three friends go for a lunch at a restaurant. The bill for the lunch is 25 rupees. They all pay 10 rupees each and the waiter took the money to the cashier.

The cashier deducted the amount and gave 5 rupees to the waiter. But the waiter was not able to split the money among the three friends so he keeps 2 rupees as a tip and give 1 rupee each to the friends.

Now :

They all paid 10 rupees and got 1 back so actual money paid by them = Rs 9
They were 3 friends so total money paid by them will be = Rs 27
Waiter keeps 2 rupees as a tip so total = 27 + 2 =29

So where did the one rupee go?
