Question

In a college of 300 students, every student reads 5 newspapers and every newspaper is read by 60 students. Then number of newspapers is

• A. at least 30
• B. almost 20
• C. exactly 25
• D. none of these

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

exactly 25

Let the number of newspapers be x.
If each student reads only one paper, then number of students = 60x.
Now each paper is read by 5 students.
$\therefore$ Number of students $=\frac{60x}{5}=300$
$\therefore x=\frac{300\times 5}{60}=25$
