Q4 of 4 Page 138

There are 104 students in class 10 and 96 students in class 9 in a school. In a house examination, the students are to be evenly seated in parallel rows such that no 2 adjacent rows are of the same class.

a}. Find the max number of parallel rows of each class for the seating arrangement.


b}. Also, find the number of students in class 9 and also class 10 in a row


c}. What is the objective of the school administration behind such an arrangement?

Total number of students = 200


(104 of class 10 and 96 of class 9)


HCF of 96 and 104 = 8
Number of rows of class 10th students


= 13


Number of rows of class 10th students


= 12


(A) Maximum rows can be formed = 12 + 13


= 25


(B) Number of students in rows of both classes = 8


(C) The objective behind such an arrangement is to avoid the chaos that students of same class sitting in adjacent rows often create.
