उत्तर
Let x students planned a picnic.
Then, the share of each student `= 480/x`
According to question, 8 students fail to go picnic, then remaining students = (x − 8).
Therefore, new share of each student `480/(x-8)`
It is given that
`480/(x-8)-480/x=10`
`(480x-480(x-8))/(x(x-8))=10`
`(480x+3840-480)/(x^2-8x)=10`
`3840/(x^2-8x)=10`
`3840/10 = x^2 - 8x`
384 = x2 − 8x
x2 − 8x − 384 = 0
x2 + 16x − 24x − 384 = 0
x(x + 16) − 24(x + 16) = 0
(x + 16) (x − 24) = 0
x + 16 = 0
x = −16
Or
x − 24 = 0
x = 24
Because x cannot be negative.
Thus, the total numbers of students attend a picnic
= x − 8 = 24 − 8 = 16
Therefore, the total numbers of students attend a picnic be x = 16
