Question

anargha gogoi · Answer

the question stated that some members of a community made a certain amount of laddoos. they decided that each of thema re going to make equal number of laddoos. 10 people did not show up. so that had to make extra number of laddoos. so how many people made laddoos in the end ? 
So once u solve whatever equations u get , u will get the initial number of people, which is 50. but the question asked the final number of people, which should be 50-10 = 40. 
now excuse me while i cry myself to sleep.
