In a school some sweets were to be distributed among 420 children on the occasion of Teacher's day. But 140 children remained absent on that particular day and hence each child got one sweet extra. How many sweets each child would have got originally ?

A) Cannot be determined

B) 2

C) 5
D) 4

Correct answer:
B) 2

Description for Correct answer:
If the number of all sweets be x, then

\( \Large \frac{x}{280} - \frac{x}{420} = 1 \)

=> \( \Large \frac{3x - 2x}{840} = 1 \)

=> x = 840

\( \Large \therefore \ Required \ answer = \frac{840}{420} = 2 \)
