Answer : 4. "15"
Explanation :

Answer: D) 15 Explanation: Let 'K' be the total number of sweets.Given total number of students = 112If sweets are distributed among 112 children,Let number of sweets each student gets = 'L' => K/112 = L ....(1)But on that day students absent = 32 => remaining = 112 - 32 = 80Then, each student gets '6' sweets extra. => K/80 = L + 6 ....(2)from (1) K = 112L substitute in (2), we get112L = 80L + 48032L = 480L = 15 Therefore, 15 sweets were each student originally supposed to get.
