Here you need to under stand the question properly.The waiter returned the 1 rupee to the three freinds.So the remaining 24 rupees is the expense occured for them including the bill and waiter tips of 2 re.
24*3=72(bill 70 re+waiter 2 re).Remaining one rupee has been given to each of them.
As the 24*3=72re(bill 70 re and waiter 2re) includes the waiter tips of 2 re. You should not add it again to 72.
Here 75re(25*3)=bill70re+waiter 2re+3re returned(1*3persons).
