  1. FOR U SCRUTABILIS,
    Here may be two conditions
    1)rupees r an even no.
    2)ropees r an odd no.
    let we take second case...suppose he had 23.50 rs. then after spending half amount he had 11.75[23/2=11.50,50/2=25]...
    consider the general case that he had x.y rs.,after spening half amount he had [x/2-0.50].[y/2+50]...
    now put the given conditions of ques....
    1) [x/2-0.50]=y/2
    2) [y/2+50]=x
    solve these two equations & get the answer=99.98 Rs.
