Answer:

5 customers in a Line

Total Number of customers = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Customers are asked to stand in the lines. If one customer is extra in a line, then there would be two less lines. If one customer is less in line, there would be three more lines.

Let say There are  C customers in a Line  and total L number of lines

Total number of customers = ( customers in a line) * (number of Lines)

=>Total number of customers =  CL

If one customer is extra in a line, then there would be two less lines

=> Total number of customers = (C + 1)(L -2)

(C + 1)(L -2)  = CL

=> CL + L - 2C - 2 = CL

=> L - 2C  = 2   - eq 1

If one customer is less in line, there would be three more lines.

=> Total number of customers = (C - 1)(L +3)

(C - 1)(L +3) = CL

=> CL - L + 3C - 3 = CL

=> - L + 3C = 3    - eq 2

Adding eq 1 & eq 2

=> C = 5

L - 2(5) = 2

=> L = 12

5 customers in a Line

Total Number of customers =  CL = 5*12  = 60
