Question

If there are $150$ babies born every minute, how many babies share the same birth date world-wide?
$\left( A \right)\,\,2,24,000$
$\left( B \right)\,\,2,16,000$
$\left( C \right)\,\,2,25,000$
$\left( D \right)\,\,2,18,000$

Answer 1

Hint: To do this question, one should know how many hours in a day and how many minutes are there in an hour. Therefore, if we find the birth on a particular day. We can find babies having the same birthdate world-wide.

Complete step by step solution:
In the given question, we know that
There are $60$ minutes in an hour and $24$ hours in a day.
So, there are $24 \times 60 = 1440$ minutes in a day.
Now, it is given that $150$ babies are born every minute.
So, the babies born in $1440$ minutes are
$ \Rightarrow 1440 \times 150 = 2,16,000$
Therefore, $2,16,000$ babies have the same birth date world-wide.
Hence, the correct option is $\left( B \right)$.

Note: Here in this question, we found the number of babies having the same birth date in a year.
But it is given that babies are born every minute. If it is given that babies were born every second then we have to multiply the final answer with $60.$ Here we have taken the time of $24$ hours because we have to find the same birth date and in a day there are only $24$ hours.
