On a school’s Annual Day, apples were to be equally distributed amongst 112 children. But on that particular day 32 children were absent. Thus, the remaining children got 6 extra apples. How many apples was each child originally supposed to get?

A 21

B 12

C 15

D Cannot be determined

E None of these

Solution

Correct Answer: Option C

Let every student was supposed to get n sweets

Then total number of sweets = 112 × n

Now, every student got 6 extra sweets so they got (n+6) sweets and 32 children were absent.

Now, total number of sweets = 80 × (n+6)

Hence,

112 × n = 80 × (n+6)

112n – 80n = 80 × 6

32n = 80 × 6

n = 15
