Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 1 : 26

Calculation:

Let the total students be (n + 1)

Let total pamphlets be x

Let the average of ‘n’ students be y

The student who got 1/6th of x = 5y

⇒ y = x/30

Therefore ‘n’ students got 1/30th of the total share each

⇒ n × x/30 + 1 × x/6 = x

⇒ nx + 5x = 30x

⇒ n + 5 = 30

⇒ n = 25

∴ Total = n + 1 = 26

Total students in the class are 26.
