There is certain numbers of toys in the box. They are divided into such a way that the person who gets 1/4 of the whole gets thrice of what the others get on an average. Find the number of people amongst whom the toys are distributed?
Choose the correct choice from the following answers:
A) 8
B) 10
C) 12
D) 9
E) 4
Explanation:   If the person who gets 1/4 of the whole gets thrice of what the others get on an average,   each one will get =1/3×1/4=112 of the whole.   Therefore, if there are k persons other than the person who gets one-fourth, then   1/4 + k/12 = 1   ⇒ k=9   Hence, total number of people = 10.   Answer: 10
