Student of a class are made to stand in rows. If 4 student are extra in a row, there would be 2 rows less. If 4 student are less in a row, there would be 4 more rows, find the number of student in the class.
Le no of rows = x and no of student in each row y
total no of student x*y
By given condition
(x-2)(y+4)=xy (i)
(x+4)(y-4)=xy (ii)
Solve
x=8, y=12
no of student = 12*8 = 96
option 7
There is something I don't understand about algebra: It has been around for thousands of years, yet no one has ever found out what the value of "x" or "y" really is.
