MCQ
Chocolates were distributed in a class of $35$ students. Each student gets $3$ chocolates. How many chocolates would each one get if it is a class of $20$ students?
  • A
    $6$
  • $5$
  • C
    $7$
  • D
    $2$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$5$

Let each student get $x$ chocolates.
When number of students is less, each student will get more chocolates. It is a case of inverse proportion which follows $\frac{\text{x}_1}{\text{x}_2}=\frac{\text{y}_2}{\text{y}_1}$
$\frac{35}{20}=\frac{\text{x}}{3}$
$35\times3=20\text{x}$
$\text{x}=\frac{35\times3}{20}$
$x = 5$ Chocolates
