What does this means. Is it even valid logically ? With great efforts his son succeeded in convincing him not to donate his entire wealth to an orphanage and make an orphan of himself ?

Seems lame to me. Any ideas or explanation ?

I feel "and lead a life of a wealthy merchant " is d right answer.

Harshit said:   1 decade ago
'B' is correct option. I had gone through last years placement papers and found d answer to be "B".

@Harshit you are rite.

Dusty said:   1 decade ago
The answer should be either A or B, B being more logical. Answer can't be C at any cost.

Option A is correct.

Because if his son succeeded to not to donate his entire wealth then.

Why would he donate his home?

His son succeeded in convincing him not to donate his "entire wealth" to an orphanage.

*Father wanted to donate "everything" first.

*His son convinced him not to donate "everything" (but few).

Logically B is right. And what does C means ?

It means by donating entire wealth don't make me orphan dad.

I did not find a single logic submitting for D. And relates two similar meant events, but here we see contrary to.
