not solved (Question: 109028.0 )

problem is not solved

Question:
A person had some sweets. If he distributes it among 25 children equally, then 8 sweets remains. If there were 28 children and on distributing it equally, 22 sweets would remain. Find the total number of sweets.
Options:
A) 359
B) 358
C) 300
D) 480
Solution:
Ans: (b) On checking it from options, we get that option (b) is the correct option.

As, 358 on dividing by 25, will give 8 as remainder.


Dividend = divisor x quotient + remainder

    358    =    25    x     y       +    8

    358 - 8 = 25 x y 

      350  = 25 x y

       14 = y

 thus, we can follow same way.
