Answer 1

$\huge{ \mathfrak{ \underline{ Answer} \: \: ✓ }}$

let the number of

• adults be x

• children be y

Total number of people : adults + children

• x + y = 240

• x = 240 - y - [1]

Total money earned from adults :

• 6 × x = 6x

Total money earned from children :

• 2 × y = 2y

Therefore, total money = money earned from each Adult and children.

• 6x + 2y = 1200 -[2]

Now, let's plug the value of x from equation [1] into equation [2]

• 6 (240 - y) + 2y = 1200

• 1440 - 6y + 2y = 1200

• -4y = 1200 - 1440

• -4y = - 240

• y = 60

let's plug the value of y in equation [1]

• x = 240 - y

• x = 240 - 60

• x = 180

Hence, we get :

• total adults = x = 180

• total children = y = 60

Correct option is C
