Question

There are 957 passengers waitng for a train at a station X.The train has 15 compartments and each has equal number of seats.
How many passengers missed the train?

• A. 63
• B. 10
• C. 9

Answer 1

The correct option is B 10

Total number of passengers $=957$
There are $15$ compartments in the train.

Number of passengers catched the train= $\frac{\text{total number of passengers}}{\text{the number of compartments in train}}$ = $\frac{957}{15}$
To find the number of passengers missed the train,We have to find the remainder of $957÷15$
So , let's divide
$957÷15$
Quotient = 63
Remainder = 12
Hence, 12 passengers missed the train.
