Question

₹ 320 were divided equally among 8 children. If 2 more children join them, each will get, how many rupees more or less?

Options

• ₹ 40 more

• ₹ 32 more

• ₹ 8 less

• ₹ 8 more

Answer 1

₹ 8 less

Explanation:

When ₹ 320 were divided equally among 8 children then each child's 320 share = `320/8` = ₹ 40

When 2 more children join then ₹ 320 were divided equally among 8 + 2 i.e. 10 children.

∴ Each child's share = ₹ `320/10` = ₹ 32

 So each child will get = (40 – 32) = ₹ 8 less
