On the independence day, bananas were be equally distributed among the children in a school so that each child would get two bananas. On the particular day 360 children were absent and as a result each child got two extra bananas. Find the actual number of children in the school?

A. 600
B. 620
C. 500
D. 520
E. None of these
Explanation:
Let the number of children in the school be x. Since each child gets 2 bananas, total number of bananas = 2x.
2x/(x – 360) = 2 + 2(extra)
=> 2x – 720 = x => x = 720.
