c) 4 People Are There in the Lift. On the Next Floor, 2 People Entered the Lift. How Many Total People Are There in the Lift Now?

d) There Are 5 Floors in the Building. From the Ground Floor, the Lift Carries 2 People on Each Floor. No One Has Left the Lift. How Many Total People Will Be There on the 5th Floor?

  1. On the ground floor = 9 people
    On the 1st floor = 3 people left
    Remaining people = 9 – 3 = 6 people
    On the 2nd floor = 6 people left
    So, on the 2nd floor, 6 people left the lift.
  2. On the 3rd floor = 4 kids
    On the 4th floor = 7 kids
    On the 4th floor entered kids = 7 – 4 = 3
    3 kids entered the lift on the 4th floor.
  3. Number of people in the lift = 4
    On the next floor = 2 people entered
    Total number of people = 4 + 2 = 6 people
    There is a total of 6 people in the lift now.
  4. Total number of floors = 5
    From the ground floor, the lift carries 2 people on each floor.
    Ground floor = 2 people
    1st floor = 2 + 2 = 4 people
    2nd floor = 4 + 2 = 6 people
    3rd floor = 6 + 2 = 8 people
    4th floor = 8 + 2 = 10 people
    5th floor = 10 + 2 = 12 people
    12 people will be there on the 5th floor.
