Question

Hina gives a total of ₹286 to 11 of her students as allowance during an excursion. If they are divided equally, how much will each student get?

• A. ₹25
• B. ₹26
• C. ₹23
• D. ₹21

Answer 1

The correct option is B ₹26

Total amount = ₹286
Number of students = 11
So, to find the amount each of them gets, we have to divide 286 by 11.
Let's use repeated subtraction to find the answer.
From the multiplication table of 11, we know that 11 $\times$ 10 = 110.

$$\begin{array}{c}10+10+6\\ 11286\\ -\underset{–}{110}2\\ 176\\ -\underset{–}{110}\\ 66\\ -\underset{–}{66}\\ 0\end{array}$$Thus, 286 ÷ 11 = 10 + 10 + 6 = 26
Thus, each student will get ₹26.
