bewakoof · Answer

6^199 

person A recieves gift from everyone else besides him.. and everyone gives him 6 gift

Yurik79 · Answer

I think it should be 199*6=1194
Every person gives 6 presents except himself!Hence 199*6

GMATT73 · Answer

This was my basis of calculation too, but according to the OA we are both wrong.

Yurik79 · Answer

My answer was 1 min later))
But I think mine is more correct than yours!Why do you need to power 6 in 199 it will be enourmous number of gifts!Please explain maybe I am wrong

bewakoof · Answer

everyone gives 6 gifts.. so A recieves

6+ 6 + 6+ 6 *199 times

gamjatang · Answer

Total number of gifts = 1,200

1,200 gifts are distributed to 200 people.

One person receives 6 gifts.
