Question Detail

In a class free notebooks were distributed among all the children. Each child got notebooks which were one-eighth of the number of children. If number of children been half, then each child would have recieved 16 notebooks in total. Find the total number of books distributed.

  • 450
  • 512
  • 598
  • 658

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let suppose total number of students in class are X.
Then from the question we can conclude it that,
\begin{aligned}
X*\frac{1}{8}X = \frac{X}{2}*16 \\
=> X = 64\\
\text{Total notebooks,} \\
= \frac{1}{8}X^2 \\
= \left( \frac{1}{8} * 64 * 64 \right) \\
= 512
\end{aligned}

2. What fraction of \begin{aligned} \frac{4}{7}\end{aligned} should be added to itself to become \begin{aligned} 1\frac{1}{14} \end{aligned}

  • \begin{aligned} \frac{7}{8} \end{aligned}
  • \begin{aligned} \frac{7}{9} \end{aligned}
  • \begin{aligned} \frac{7}{10} \end{aligned}
  • \begin{aligned} \frac{7}{11} \end{aligned}

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
=> \frac{4}{7}x + \frac{4}{7} = \frac{15}{4}
\end{aligned}
\begin{aligned}
= \frac{4}{7}x = \frac{15}{4} - \frac{4}{7}
\end{aligned}
\begin{aligned}
= \frac{4}{7}x = \frac{7}{14}
\end{aligned}
\begin{aligned}
= x = \frac{1}{2}\times \frac{7}{4} = \frac{7}{8}
\end{aligned}
