Question Detail
In a class free notebooks were distributed among all the children. Each child got notebooks which were one-eighth of the number of children. If number of children been half, then each child would have recieved 16 notebooks in total. Find the total number of books distributed.
- 450
- 512
- 598
- 658
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Let suppose total number of students in class are X.
Then from the question we can conclude it that,
\begin{aligned}
X*\frac{1}{8}X = \frac{X}{2}*16 \\
=> X = 64\\
\text{Total notebooks,} \\
= \frac{1}{8}X^2 \\
= \left( \frac{1}{8} * 64 * 64 \right) \\
= 512
\end{aligned}
