On children's Day, sweets were to be equally distributed amongst 300 children. But on that particular day 50 children remained absent; hence each child got one extra sweet. How many sweet were distributed?
Correct Answer: 1500
Explanation:
Let total number of sweets distributed on children's day = x
According to the question,
x/250 - x/300 = 1
⇒ ( 6x - 5x )/1500 = 1
∴ x = 1500
∴ Required number of sweets distributed on children's day = 1500
