\
( x + 4) (r - 4) = x r
x r - 4 x + 4r - 16 = x r

and
( x - 2) (r + 4) = x r
x r + 4x - 2r - 8 = x r
(ii)
4x - 2r = 8
Adding Eqs. (i) and (ii),
2 r = 24
r = 12
\ From Eq. (ii), 4 x - 24 = 8
4 x = 32
x=8
\ Total number of students = 8 12 = 96

Hence, 116 candles will be made from 1044 stubs.
From 116 candles, 12 candles can be made with

candles can be made with 2 stubs left.

(c) A number is divisible by 8 if the number formed by

the last three digits is divisible by 8, ie, 58N is
divisible by 8.
Hence, N = 4
Again a number is divisible by 11 if the difference
between the sum of digits at even place and sum of
digits at the odd places is either 0 or divisible by 11,
ie, (M + 9 + 4 + 4 + 8) - (3 + 0 + 8 + 5 + N )
= M + 25 - (16 + N ) = M - N + 9
(M - N ) + 9 must be zero or it must be divisible
by 11
ie,
M -N =2
M = 2+ 4 = 6

M = 6, N = 4
