Further explanation:
This is a tricky question which tests the ability of a person to understand and comprehend the data.
The statement in the question is given as follows:
“I have [tex]6[/tex] eggs, I broke [tex]2[/tex] eggs, fried [tex]2[/tex] eggs, and ate [tex]2[/tex] eggs.”
It seems that in the above statement, three different cases or three different situations are involved but it is not so, because the given data belongs to one situation.
To solve these types of questions one has to think logically because confusion occurs only when the data is given in a vague form.
In the question, it is given that initially the total number eggs are [tex]6[/tex]. So, the person who was hungry decided to eat [tex]2[/tex] eggs. The person breaks [tex]2[/tex] eggs and then fry the same [tex]2[/tex] eggs.
Now, if the person broke [tex]\bf 2[/tex] eggs then it is very obvious that the person will fry the same [tex]2[/tex] broken eggs.
This implies that the person broke [tex]2[/tex] eggs, then fried the same [tex]2[/tex] eggs and then ate those [tex]2[/tex] eggs.
Since, out of the [tex]6[/tex] eggs the person broke [tex]2[/tex] eggs and ate them then so, there are [tex]4[/tex] eggs remaining in the cart.
This implies that [tex]4[/tex] eggs are left with the person.
Thus, the number of eggs remaining with the person is [tex]\fbox{\begin\\\ 4\\\end{minispace}}[/tex].

Using logical reasoning, the number of eggs left to the person in question is 4 eggs.
- Total number of eggs = 6
- Number of eggs broken = 2
- Number of eggs fried = 2
- Number of eggs eaten = 2
Logically, an egg could be eaten fried or boiled, however, in this case the egg was eaten fried.
- To fry an egg, the egg has to be broken and its shells taken off
- After which it is fried and then eaten.
