Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let, at first the number of passengers = X

on its first stop 1/4 passengers got down

so, passengers got down in first stop = X × 1/4

= X/4

then , remaining passengers = X - X/4

= 3X/4

in the second stop the number of passengers got down = 3X/4×1/4 = 3X/16

so, the remainng passengers = 3X/4 - 3X/16

= (12X - 3X)/16

= 9X/16

after second stop 14 passengers got onto the bus

now the total passengers = 9X/16 + 14

hence,

X = 9X/16 + 14

or, X - 9X/16 = 14

or, (16X-9X)/16=14

or, 7X/16 = 14

or, X = 14×16/7

or X = 32
