bhargavhhhhhhhh
When we have guests, each van takes \(\frac{n}{8}\) guests, and each bus take \(\frac{n}{2}\) guests.
Now, we have 15n guests, we need 32 vans, we know each van takes \(\frac{n}{8}\) guests, so 32 vans are taking \(32*\frac{n}{8}\) = 4n guests
Remaining 11n guests are taken in buses, and each bus takes \(\frac{n}{2}\) guests, so buses required = \(\frac{11n}{(n/2)}\) = 22
Answer D.

Deconstructing the Question
For n guests:
\(8\text{ vans} = 2\text{ buses}\)
So:
\(4\text{ vans} = 1\text{ bus}\)
We scale up to 15 groups.
Step-by-step
Vans needed for 15 groups:
\(15\cdot8=120\)
Already have 32 vans.
Remaining capacity:
\(120-32=88\text{ vans equivalent}\)
Convert to buses:
\(\frac{88}{4}=22\)
Answer: 22
