We come across many funny incidents related to different walks of life. One of the funny incident is the punchline or a climax — which gives the incident a sudden transformation or twist (into something not expected). It is this punchline which makes the incident funny.
In each of the following questions an incident is described but the punchline is missing - indicated by a blank. After the incident, two statements numbered I and II are given. Considering the- incident, you have to decide which of the two statements fits as a punchline.

Question 90

A asked his friend B how the latter had amassed so much wealth in such a short time. B said,
“J joined hands with a rich men. He had the money and I had the experience.” He added.....
I. “Now he has the experience and I the money.”
II. ‘When experience joins money, it creates miracles.”

Solution

Statement 1 is a punchline as B induced humor by saying that the interaction with J got him money and J got experience. The tradeoff is shown with a funny statement in this. 

Statement 2 is a punchline as well, because it is presented in an unusual manner. However, the two statements are entirely different in the way they are presented.
