The cost of hiring a bus is shared equally by all passengers. The bus has seats for 40 passengers and
the total bill comes to Rs.70.37. How many seats went unoccupied?
1. 13
2. 11
3. 9
4. 7

• As the bill of Rs 70.37 is equally divided, it is only possible when 31 passengers shared the bill.
  70.37/31= 2.27
  Also
  70.37 is not fully divisible by 27,29,33.
  
  so 40-31=9 seats went unoccupied.

• As the ans are given the 70.73 rs. only equally ditributed by (40-9)=31.
  So the no of passengers are 31 and the no of unoccupied seats are 9........

• 3). 9
  70.37/31 = Rs 2.27 for each
  for all other count, it can't be equally shared because of no other proper divisor for Rs 70.37
  So 9 seats are unoccupied.
