Answer 2

Given:

Total number of hostel rooms = 60

To find:

The maximum number of students who can live in the hostel.

Solution:

 1/5 of 60 rooms can accommodate 1 student in each room.

⇒ $\frac{1}{5}$ × 60 = 12 rooms

Total students in 12 rooms =  12 students                        ( 1 )

1/5 of 60 rooms can accommodate 2 students in each room.

⇒ $\frac{1}{5}$ × 60 = 12 rooms

Total students in 12 rooms = 12 × 2 = 24 students           ( 2 )

Remaining rooms = 60 - ( 12 + 12) = 60 - 24 = 36 rooms

36 rooms can accommodate 3 students in each room.

Total students in 36 rooms = 36 × 3  = 108  students         ( 3 )

Adding 1, 2, and 3,

We get total number of students that can be accommodated in the hostel = 12 + 24 + 108 = 144

Total number of students that can live in the hostel is 144 students.
