Q:
There are two examinations rooms P and Q. If 10 students are sent from P to Q, then the number of students in each room is the same. If 20 candidates are sent from Q to P, then the number of students in P is double the number of students in Q. The number of students in room Q is ?
Answer & Explanation
Answer: D) 80
Explanation: If 'k' is number of students in P and 'l' is number of students in Q, then
From the given conditions, we have
=> k - 10 = l + 10 .......(1)
=> k + 20 = 2(l - 20) ....(2)
Solving these eqns, we get
k = 100 and l = 80.
Therefore, number of students in class Q is 80.
