Question

2. Mala and Gopi have brought clothes to
distribute in an Old-age Home.
The residents there are divided into 2
groups: A and B. There are 10 people
in group A and 15 in group B. If each
group is given an equal number of
clothes, and every member of a group
receives the same number of clothes,
what is the least number of clothes that
Mala and Gopi must have brought?​

Answer 1

Answer:

60

Step-by-step explanation:

If each group is given the same number of clothes to be equally divided by the groups members.  It can’t be 10 as there would not be enough for group B  which has 15 members. I can’t be 15 as it can’t be equally divided between members (it can in group B if each member gets 1) but it can’t in group A as some would receive 1 and others 2.  Therefore by doubling the amount of the higher group 15 x 2 = 30 (group B) it ensures that each member gets 2, and in group A each member gets 3 items as 30 is easily divisible by 10 evenly. Meaning group A gets 30 and Group B gets 30 = 30 x 2 = 60.
