Answer:
50
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of students be x.
Given that 300 orange are distributed equally.
So, number of oranges received by each student = (300/x).
Given, if there are 10 students more.
Then, number of oranges received by each student = (300/x + 10).
Now,
Given that he would have received 1 orange less.
⇒ (300/x) - (300/x + 10) = 1
⇒ (300x + 3000 - 300x)/x(x + 10) = 1
⇒ 300x + 3000 - 300x = x(x + 10)
⇒ x(x + 10) = 3000
⇒ x² + 10x - 3000 = 0
⇒ x² + 60x - 50x - 3000 = 0
⇒ x(x + 60) - 50(x + 60) = 0
⇒ (x - 50)(x + 60) = 0
⇒ x = 50, -60{It cannot be negative, x≠-60}
⇒ x = 50.
Therefore, number of students is 50.

Number of students = x
Total apples = 300
Apple for each =300/x
Present number of students=x+10
Apples for each = 300/x+10
1 apples less
300/x-300/x+10=1
Final equation = x²+10x-3000=0
x²+60x-50x-3000=0
x(x+60)- 50(x+60)=0
(x+60)(x-50)=0
x+60=0,. x=-60
x-50=0
x= 50
