Question

Three groups of students are going for a school picnic. Each group is going to a different destination. The number of students in each group are 160, 240 and 200 respectively. Each bus accommodates the same number of students. What is the maximum number of students that can be accommodated in a bus? How many buses in all will have to be hired for the three groups together?

Answer 1

Answer:

Walking along, Tintin overheard the two island gate guards, Thomson and Thompson chatting amongst themselves.

Thomson : He told us we have consecutive letters on our papers

Thompson : Yeah he told me too.

Thomson : I don't know what your letter is.

Thompson : Neither do I know your letter.

Thomson : Now I know.

Tintin listened this conversation and wondered what the two letters could be. When he was

about to leave the island, Thomson stopped him and told him to say the password, which

were the two letters.

Maximum of how many attempts does Tintin need to make to have the correct pair of

letters, and thus pass successfully?
