A) 288
B) 388
C) 208
D) None of these
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
Sol. [a] Since the books are to be ditributed equally among the students of section A or section 8. Therefore, number of books must be a multiple of 32 as well as 36. |
Hence, required number of books is the LCM of 32 and 36. |
We have, \[32={{2}^{5}}\] and \[36={{2}^{2}}\times {{3}^{2}}\] |
\[\therefore \] LCM of 32 and 36 is \[{{2}^{5}}\times {{3}^{2}}=288.\]. |
Hence, required number of books is 288. |
