    In a school a total of 4,900 pencils were distributed

    among all the students in the school. The pencils were distributed in such a way that number of pencils received by each student were 25% of the total number of students in the school. Find the number of pencils each student gets.
    A 28 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 30 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 35 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 40 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the total number of students in the school be '4x'. So, the number of pencils received by each student = 0.25 × 4x = 'x' ATQ, Total number of pencils distributed = 4x × x = 4900 Or, x² = (4900 ÷ 4) = 1225 Since, number of pencils cannot be negative. So, x = 35 Therefore, the number of pencils received by each student = x = 35
