Question

One third of total no of students in a class are in chemistry lab , one fourth are in physics lab , one sixth are in biology lab and 12 are in maths lab . How many students are there in the class.

Answer 1

Hey.

Here is the answer.

let total no. of students be x

A/q

x/3 + x/4 + x/6 + 12 = x
or, (4x+3x+2x +144)/12 =x
or, 9x+144=12x
or, 12x-9x=144
or, 3x =144
so, x=144/3=48

So, there are 48 students in the class.

Thanks.
