Answer : 4. "15"
Explanation :

Answer: D) 15 Explanation: Let 'K' be the total number of sweets.Given total number of students = 112If sweets are distributed among 112 children,Let number of sweets each student gets = 'L' => K/112 = L ....(1)But on that day students absent = 32 => remaining = 112 - 32 = 80Then, each student gets '6' sweets extra. => K/80 = L + 6 ....(2)from (1) K = 112L substitute in (2), we get112L = 80L + 48032L = 480L = 15 Therefore, 15 sweets were each student originally supposed to get.

Answer : 3. "5"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 5 Explanation: (3x + 2) (2x - 5) = ax2+kx+n ...............(1)   But (3x + 2)(2x - 5) = 6x2-11x-10........(2)   so by comparing (1) & (2),   we get a= 6, k= -11 , n= -10   (a - n + k) = 6 + 10 - 11 = 5.
