Why dirction was asked to find?
Well, it totally depends on the location of the bus. How? Read further.
If you look at it carefully, then you can notice that the doors of the bus are missing.
That clearly indicates, those must be on the other side of bus.
Hence if bus is on the roads of India then it must have doors at it's left side & hence the bus must be moving in the right direction.
While in some countries, bus might have doors at the right; in the case the bus must be moving in left direction.

What was the problem?
Using Algebra :
Let r,b and g be the numbers of red, blue and green marbles in the jar.
There are 73 red, blue and green marbles in a jar.
So r + b + g = 73 .....(1)
There are twice as many red marbles as blue marbles.
r = 2b ......(2)
There are 19 more blue marbles than green marbles.
b = g + 19
g = b - 19 ......(3)
Putting (2) and (3) in (1), gives
2b + b + b - 19 = 73
4b = 92
b = 23
Putting b = 23 in (3) gives,
g = 23 - 19 = 4
Putting b = 23 in (2), gives
r = 2x23 = 46
So there are 46 red,23 blue and 4 green marbles in the jar.
Without Algebra :
In the case, we need to try trail and error method.
If g = 1, then b = 20 and r = 2(20) = 40 giving total 40 + 20 + 1 = 61.
If g = 2, then b = 21 and r = 2(21) = 42 giving total 42 + 21 + 2 = 65.
If g = 3, then b = 22 and r = 2(22) = 44 giving total 44 + 22 + 3 = 69.
Total is increasing at the rate of 4. So finally,
If g = 4, then b = 23 and r = 2(23) = 46 giving total 46 + 23 + 4 = 73.
So there are 46 red,23 blue and 4 green marbles in the jar.

What's the case history?
So did you just answer Rs.130 ? No, that's not correct!
Thief initially steals Rs.100 note. Now imagine instead of Rs.100 he steals goods of worth Rs. 70 + Rs.30 (given by shopkeeper). So eventually, the shopkeeper lost only Rs.100 in the process.
In other words, the thief exchanges Rs.70 with the goods in the case. He pays for those goods to shopkeeper. So he looses Rs.70 from stolen Rs.100 & gains back via goods.
So eventually, the shopkeeper lost only Rs.100 in the case.

Tommy: "How old are you, Mamma?"
Mamma: "Let me think, Tommy. Well, our three ages add up to exactly seventy years."
Tommy: "That's a lot, isn't it? And how old are you, Papa?"
Papa: "Just six times as old as you, my son."
Tommy: "Shall I ever be half as old as you, Papa?"
Papa: "Yes, Tommy; and when that happens our three ages will add up to exactly twice as much as to-day."
Tommy: "And supposing I was born before you, Papa; and supposing Mamma had forgot all about it, and hadn't been at home when I came; and supposing..."
Mamma: "Supposing, Tommy, we talk about bed. Come along, darling. You'll have a headache."
Now, if Tommy had been some years older he might have calculated the exact ages of his parents from the information they had given him. Can you find out the exact age of Mamma?
Here is CALCULATION of exact age!
