In a soap company a soap is manufactured with 11 parts. For making one soap you will get 1 part as scrap. At the end of the day u have 251 such scraps. From that how many soaps can be manufactured?

• Firstly 1 soap uses 11 part but 1 part as scrap ok
  now we 251 scrap it means parts so total no of soap make by this 251 parts will be
  251/11=22 with remainder 9 Now according to question 1 soap generate 1 part as scrap so in this case we make 22 soap so as well as 22 part as scrap as also generate 2 soap and this generate 2 parts as scrap now we have 9 remainder as scrap and we have another 2 scrap(part) now we have total 11 scrap and we can make another 1 soap with 1 part as scrap.
  
  so finally total soap will be 22+2+1=25 with 1 scrap left.
  OK

• Simply by reading the question we can get into the conclusion: "1 soap= 10part" (i.e., i soap leaves 1 scrap)!!!
  then resultant soap count = 251/10= 25 (approx.) = ANSWER
  then resultant scrap count = 251%10= 1

• The 251 scraps will be used to make 22 soaps with remaining 9 scraps. again the 22 soaps will produce 22 scraps. so 22+9=31 scraps which makes 2 soaps with remaining 9 scraps. Again the 2 soaps will produce 2 scraps. so we have 11 scraps which can be used to make 1 soap with 1 scrap as remaining. Therefore totally,22+2+1=25 soaps.
