ONE HUNDRED OF EACH.
There were exactly ono hundred boys in an elementary school which comprised three divisions, viz.: A, 13, and G. Now if one hundred oranges bo divided between tho whole of the boys, giving those in A three each, those in B two each, and the tiny tots in class 0 half an orange each, there coukl be many ways in which the numbers of pupils in the respective classes may be made up to tho full complement of one hundred in the school. But let us limit the composition of tho classes to a fixed number of boys in each, by stating that those in A received ten less than half tlie number of oranges distributed in B class, and that the little ones in C received altogether ten less than three times as many as the number given to
How many boys were in the respective classes? This is another little poser which most readers will perhaps elect to treat like the preceding one.
