Let each student recieve x sweets.
Initially each student recieved x sweets i.e (N/300) = x
Afterwards, 50 students were absent.
Now, each student recieved (x+1) sweets i.e (N/300) = x+1
Solving the simultaneius equations we get,
x=5
and hence there will be total N=5*300 = 1500 sweets.
Option C is correct option.
