Question

9. * 250 is divided equally among a certain
number of children. If there were 25 children
more, each would have received 50 paise less.
Find the number of children.​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the no. of students be x

no.of money each onewill get =250/x

new no. of students= x+25no. of money each one will get=250/x+25

by condition

250/x -250/x+25=0.5

250(x+25)-250x/x²+25x=5/10

250x+6250-250x/x²+25x=5/10

6250×10=5×x²+25x

12500=x²+25x

x²+25x-12500=0

(x+125)(x-100)=0

x=-125 or x=100

As no. of students can not be negative

discarding x = -125

therefore no. of students are 100
