Question

It is decided that among some boys 18 notebooks are given to each boy. But when actually 24 notebooks are given to each boy. 150 notebooks are fall short. Then what is the number of boys? (1) 18 (2) 28 (3) 22 (4) 25​

Answer 1

Answer:

number of students = x

if 18 number of notebooks are given all can get a notebook

if 24 number of notebooks are given then 150 are short

18x = total number of notebooks available

24x = -150

= 6x = 150 notebooks

= 18x = 450 notebooks

so 450 notebooks were there

= 450/18 = no of students

= 25

so 25 students ans. d hope it helps
