In a school there

Since the books are to be distributed equally among the students of A and B. therefore, the number of books must be a multiple of 48 as well as 60. Hence, required number of books is the LCM of 48 and 60.

48 = 2⁴ × 3

60 = 2² × 3 × 5

⇒ LCM = 2⁴ × 3 × 5

Hence, required number of books is 240
