Answer 2

Given :- There are a number of apples to be distributed among a number of children. If each one of them takes 6, then there will be an excess of 5 apples, if each one of them takes 7. then there will be a shortage of 8 apples.

Answer :-

Let us assume that,

• Total apples = x
• Total children = y .

so, when each one of them takes 6 ,

→ 6 * y + 5 = x

→ x - 6y = 5 ------ Eqn.(1)

and, when each one of them takes 7 ,

→ 7 * y - 8 = x

→ 7y - x = 8 ------- Eqn.(2)

adding Eqn.(1) from Eqn.(2),

→ (7y - x) + (x - 6y) = 8 + 5

→ 7y - 6y - x + x = 13

→ y = 13 .

putting value of y in Eqn.(1)

→ x - 6*13 = 5

→ x = 5 + 78

→ x = 83 .

Hence, Total number of children are 13 and total number of apples are 83.
