Answer»

Number which left out 2 when divided by 6 or 7 = LCM (6, 7) + 2 = 42n+2Given the same number is divisible by 8, so checking for VALUES n=1, 2, 3, ...For n=3, number (42n+2)=128, which is perfectly divisible by 8.Hence TOTAL number of children=128Step-by-step EXPLANATION:I hope this answer is help full u agar appko help huwii too plz DROP some tqx
