Solution

The correct option is B No
Number of students in school =1200
Number of houses =15
1200 is completely divisible by 15.

Sum of digits of 1200=1+2+0+0=3, which is divisible by 3.

Also, unit place digit is 0, which makes it divisible by 5.

And, when any number is divisible by 3 and 5 simultaneously then the number is completely divisible by 15.
So, There will be no extra student in any house.
Each houses have equal number of students.
