In this question, isn't an assumption of - "8 vans will be fully filled" and "2 buses will be fully filled" when taking n guests required?
Krunaal

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.
