Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : 100

A group of 1600 persons including Captain and soldiers is traveling on a train.

There is one captain for every 15 soldiers. 

Number of captains in the group = Total number/(Number of soldiers in a group + Captain)

= 1600/(15 + 1)

= 100

Hence, "100" is the correct answer.
