if 1 is absent rest of people can be divided into 6 equal parts if 2 is absent rest of them are divided into 7 equal parts ,how many students are present

• x-1/6=(x-2)/7+1,solve it ans 37
• 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(1)
• 37 students..
  if 1 s absent then 36 so that we can divide it into 6 pants n 2 are absent means we can divide into 7 parts

• The Total number of students must be 1 more than a 6 multiple and 2 more than a 7 multiple so its 37 which is 35+2 and 36+1

• Ans : 37
  37-1=36.36%6=0
  37-2=35.35%5=0

• Ans : 37
  37-1=36=6*6
  37-2=35=7*5

• totally 34 stdts are present...
  becos totally 37 stds r der ,out of 37 1 s absent while divided into 6 equal parts dat is 6*6=36
  likewise 2 s absent while divided into 7 equal parts dat is 7*5=35

• the total no. of students seem to be a multiple of 6 when 1 is absent and multiple of 7 when 2 is absent. the answer will be less than lcm
  hence it will be 6x+1 = 7y+2. by trial and error method. the answer has to be 37.
  because 37-2=35 is a multiple of 7 and 37-1=36 is a multiple of 6

• 37....as 6*6=36(37-1) and 7*5=35(37-2)...so 36 is a multiple of 6 and 35 is a multiple of 7

• it will be 36

• ans=37,if 1student is absent then remaining 36 students can be arranged in 6 groups,each consisting of 6 students and if 2 students are absent then 35 students are grouped into 5 groups.

• int number= 7;
  for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++)
  {
  int _7divisible = i - 2, _6divisible = i - 1;
  if (_7divisible% 7 == 0 && _6divisible %6 ==0)
  {
  printf("%d", i);
  break;
  }
  }

• 37
  Let number be x
  Then x-1 is divisible of 6
  And x-2 is divisible of 7

• answer is 37
  37-1=36
  6*6=36
  37-2=35
  7*5=35

• 37...if one is absent 36 which is divisible by 6 and if two are absent 35 which is divisible by 7
