smriti chauhan  (8 years ago)

total no.of chocolates=30*50=1500
as for ten days only 20 students were present so chocolates given=20*10=200
remaining chocolates=1500-200=1300
chocolate given in next 20 days=1300/2=65
as 20 students are already there so no of students=65-20=45
so ans=45

Let each students gets 1 chocolate. Now total chocolates = 50 x 30 = 1500
If first 10 days only 20 students were present, then total chocolates consumed = 10 × 20 = 200
Now we are left with 1500 - 200 = 1300 chololates. These were to be consumed in 20 days.
So each day 1300/20 = 65 chocolates were to be distributed.
So we can add 65 - 20 = 45 students

S.VIGNESH  (8 years ago)

let us consider chocolate consumed by each student is 1. Therefore total no of chocolate required for 50 students for 30 days is 1500.
for first 10 days only 20 students are present, so chocolates consumed is 10*20 = 200.
for remaining 20 days let us consider all 50 students are present the so chocolates consumed is 20*50= 1000.
for this case 1000+200=1200
remaining chocolates are 1500-1200 = 300
so for the first 10days 10 * x(i.e.,student) = 300
x=30 students can be added to the ten days.

Satya Samhitha Papineni  (8 years ago)

total num of chocolates =30*50=1500
for the first ten days only 20 students were present so assume 20 students get 2 chocolates per day so the remainind chocolates were 1500-400=1100
apart from this 20 students the 1100 chocolates can be given to 55 students for 20 days so that each student gets 1 chocolate a day
so over all each student receives 20 chocolates
so 55 students can be accomodated

Angad  (8 years ago)

no of student days =50*30
amount consumed =20*10
so
50*30=20*10 +(20+x)*20
x=45

50x30=1500 chocloates- 30 days-50 students
1 student-30choc
20 students-20x30=600chc are distributed in first 10 days
remaining 1500-600= 900 choc should be distributed in 20 days
20*x=900=>x=45
ans 45 students

Is this solution Helpfull? Yes (3) | No   

manish  (8 years ago)

let the no of accommodated students is x.
so
from the equation
(20 + x)* 30+ 20*10 =1500
solve this equation
and get the value of X

Why don't you compare with time and work problems? :D
50*30 = 10 days*20 students+20 days*S students .
By solving s= 65,
=>new students accomadated = 65-20= 45.

first we seehow much chocolates have after 10 days it is 1- (10*20)/(30*50)=13/15
then left 20 days so total students =(50*30*13)/(20*15)=65
so ans 65-50=15
