Question

There are four rods as P, Q, R and S. The rod P has 7 beads, the rod Q has 6 beads, the rod R has 2 beads and the rod S has 1 bead. If we arrange the beads so that each rod will have an equal number of beads, then find the number of beads for each rod.

• A. 4
• B. 5
• C. 2
• D. 3

Answer 1

The correct option is A 4

Here total number of beads = 7 + 6 + 2 + 1
= 16

Number of rods = 4

If we divide 16 beads equally then each rod will have
= $\frac{16}{4}$
= 4

( 4+4+4+4 = 16 )
