Question

On a festival day sweets were to be equally distributed among 360 children. But on that particular day, 120 children remained absent. Thus, each child got 2 sweets additionally. How many sweets did each child get on that festival day?

Answer 1

360/120=3 hey there is your answer

Answer 2

Answer:6 sweets

Step-by-step explanation:

total students = 360

after absent remaining student= 360-120=240

suppose earlier every child get sweets. so total sweets= 360x

after absent total sweets = 240(x+2)

so

⇒240(x+2)=360x

⇒2(x+2)=3x

⇒2x+4=3x

⇒x=4

so on festival day each student get (x+2)= 6 sweets.
