Q:

In a Class of 65 students and 4 teachers, each student got sweets that are 20% of the total number of students and each teacher got sweets that are 40% of the total number of students. How many sweets were there?

A) 845 B) 897
C) 949 D) 104
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 949

Explanation:

No. of  sweets each student get = 20% of 65 = 13

No. of sweets each teacher get = 40% of 65 = 26

No. of sweets distributed to 65 students =  13 × 65 = 845

No. of sweets distributed to 4 teachers = 4 × 26 = 104

Therefore, the total no. of sweets there = 845 + 104 = 949.
