Question

some students arranged a picnic. the budget for food was rs 240. because for students of the group failed to go, the cost of food to each student got increased by rs5. how many students went for the picnic?

Answer 1

let total students are x and rupees for one student be y
so y=240/x -eq.1
acc. to second information
240/(x-4)=y+5
240=(x-4)(y+5)
240=xy+5x-4y-20
260=240+5x-4y
20=5x-4y
20=5x-4×240/x
20x=5x^2-960
5x^2-20x-960=0
x^2-4x-192=0
by factorization
x=6
substitute it in eq.1
then y=15
