Question

Jack has $1,254$ books available with him. He gives $6$ books to each of his friends. How many of his friends would get $6$ books each if Jack is left with no book ?

• A. $206$
• B. $208$
• C. $209$
• D. $212$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $209$

$\bullet$ Initially, Jack has $1,254$ books.
$\bullet$ Jack distributes $6$ books to each of his friends.

To get the number of friends getting $6$ books each, we need to divide $1,254$ by $6$.

$1,254÷6$ can be evaluated as:


From the above calculation, we see that $209$ friends of Jack would be getting $6$ books each.

And, after distributing $1,254$ books among $209$ Jack's freinds, Jack is left with no book, which is also clear as remainder is $0$.

Hence, option (c.) is the correct one.
