Now, I have a pretty simple question to ask , How does Bitcoin benefit from giving us money for solving math problems? Another question is that why does it want us to do it? & is there a bigger purpose behind it???

I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because too broad. Next to the two links, you may also look at bitcoin.org, and understand the design goals of bitcoin (censorship resistant payment network ...) – pebwindkraft Feb 25 '18 at 08:14

"Bitcoin" is not a company. Bitcoin is an open-source project and a lot of people are working on it. And an open-source project does not need to get rich. The intention of a big part of that community is more like "changing something".

You did probably not understand that "solving the sha256-algorithm (that's what solving math problems means)" secures the network by preventing double-spends.
