Question

On Republic Day, sweets were to be equally distributed among 450 children. But on that particular day, 150 children were absent. Thus, each child got 3 sweets extra. How many sweets did each child get?

• A. 6
• B. 12
• C. 9
• D. Cannot be determined
• E. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is C 9

Here, number of sweets for 150 absent children $=300\times 3=900$
$\therefore$ Number of sweets each student gets
$=\frac{900}{150}+3=9$
