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}

  • \begin{aligned} \frac{7}{19} \end{aligned}
  • \begin{aligned} \frac{8}{19} \end{aligned}
  • \begin{aligned} \frac{9}{19} \end{aligned}

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
= \frac{1}{2+\frac{1}{2+\frac{1}{\frac{3}{2}}}}
\end{aligned}
\begin{aligned}
= \frac{1}{2+\frac{1}{2+\frac{2}{3}}}
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
= \frac{1}{2+\frac{1}{\frac{8}{3}}}
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
= \frac{1}{2+\frac{3}{8}}
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
= \frac{1}{\frac{19}{8}}
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
= \frac{8}{19}
\end{aligned}
