Q1. Free notebooks were distributed equally among children of a class. The number of notebooks each child got was one-eighth of the number of children. Had the number of children been half, each child would have got 16 notebooks. Total how many notebooks
Answer: 512
Explanation: If children were halved to n/2, each got 16 notebooks, so total = (n/2)×16 = 8n; original each got n/8 notebooks giving total 8n = n×(n/8), so n = 64; total notebooks = 64×8 = 512.
