    In a school a total of 2,430 chocolates were

    distributed among all the students in the school. The chocolates were distributed in such a way that number of chocolates received by each student were 30% of the total number of students in the school. Find the number of chocolates each student gets.
    A 25 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 27 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 30 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 33 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the total number of students in the school be '10x/3'. So, the number of chocolates received by each student = 0.3 × (10x/3) = 'x' ATQ, Total number of chocolates distributed = (10x/3) × x = 2430 Or, x² = 2430 × (3 ÷ 10) = 729 Since, number of chocolates cannot be negative. So, x = 27 Therefore, the number of chocolates received by each student = x = 27
