    among all the students in the school. The candies were distributed in such a way that number of candies received by each student were 20% of the total number of students in the school. Find the number of candies each student gets.
    A 24 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 26 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 28 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 30 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the total number of students in the school be '5x'. So, the number of candies received by each student = 0.2 × 5x = 'x' ATQ, Total number of candies distributed = 5x × x = 3920 Or, x² = (3920 ÷ 5) = 784 Since, number of candies cannot be negative. So, x = 28 Therefore, the number of candies received by each student = x = 28
