In a class if 1 is absent the rest of them can be divided into 6 equal groups and if two are absent can be divided into 7 equal groups. Find the minimum number of students in the class

• 37
  
  Multiple of 6 and 7 with difference 1 are 36 and 35
  So the number of students in the class is 37

• 35 is the minimum number of students
  
  total 37 that is maximum and if 1 is absent it becomes 6 equal groups, if 2 is absent it becomes 7 equal groups
  so minimum is 35

• 37
  37-1=36 is divided by 6
  37-2=35 is divided by 7

• 37
  Let total no. of students be x
  so, (x-1)/6 +1 = (x-2)/7 - 2
  Solving, we get x=37

• 37
  37-1=36 which is grouped in 6 equal parts
  37-2=37 which is grouped in 7 equal parts

• let there are x number of students in the class...
  x-1= x/6
  x-2= x/7
  on solving the above two equation we will get x=42.....

• 37
  when 1 is absent, 36 is divided into 6 groups of each 6 members
  
  when 2 is absent, 35 is divided into 7 groups of each 5 members

• it is 30 coz 30-2=28,4*7=28

• 37
  if 1 is absent then the can be divided into 6 members each in 6 teams
  if 2 is absent then the can be divided into 5 members each in 7 teams

• 37 members because it less one member in 37 got 36 .it divide into 6 groups,and less 2 member in 37 got 35.it divide into 7 groups...

• Minimum no of students 35
  Total 37 students are there in the class if 1is absent can

• 6 members in each group=(6*6=36) and 1 absent=37 students
  if 2 absent means 35 student.
  35/5=7groups
  so ans 37 student

• total students 37
  when 1 absent 36 multiple of 6
  when 2 absent 35 multiple of 7

• 79 is the answer. mutliple of 6 and 7 should have a difference of 1. The least case is 78, 77 which is obvious. so 78+1 =79 is the answer
