Answer:
As per clues given in riddle, you took £50 from your mum & £50 from your d.
So sum money is equivalent to £ 100. (£50 + £50 = £100)
After that, in next clue given,
you buy shirt worth of £97 and you get back £3 change.
Hence, £97 + £3 = £100
Next, you give £1 to your mum, £1 to your d and you keep £1 with yourself.
So now this makes £97 for shirt + £1 + £1 + £1 = £100
trick is in line "You now owe mum £49, d £49 so £49+£49 = £98 & your £1 makes £99". £1 you have cannot be ded to debt as it is part of debt alrey. Your debt thus remains at £98 pounds as you have alrey given £2 to your parents.
refore, after giving £1 to mum, and £1 to d, missing £1 is with yourself.
