A bus started with 6 passengers, a driver and a conductor. At its first stop 2 passengers got down and 4 more passengers got into the bus.At its second stop 8 more passengers got into the bus and no passenger got down the bus. The bus didnot stop in its third stop and in its fourth stop 3/4th of the passengers got down the bus and 2 people got into the bus. In its Fifth stop 4 people got down the bus. Now How many people are there in the bus after the bus has started from fourth stop?
C
Correct answer
Explanation
Let's track the passengers: Start with 6 passengers + 1 driver + 1 conductor = 8 people. Stop 1: 2 get down, 4 get in → 6-2+4 = 8 passengers → 8+2 crew = 10 people. Stop 2: 8 get in, 0 get down → 8+8 = 16 passengers → 16+2 crew = 18 people. Stop 3: No change, still 18. Stop 4: 3/4 of passengers get down → 16 × (1/4) = 4 passengers remain. 2 people get in → 4+2 = 6 passengers. Plus driver and conductor = 6+2 = 8 people. Stop 5: 4 people get down → 8-4 = 4. Wait, the question asks after FOURTH stop, before fifth. After fourth stop: 6 passengers + 2 crew = 8 people. Option C (8) is correct.
