A CUBICAL CAKE IS CUT INTO SEVERAL SMALLER CUBES BY DIVIDING EACH EDGE IN 7 EQUAL PARTS. THE CAKE IS CUT FROM THE TOP ALONG THE TWO DIAGONALS FORMING FOUR PRISMS . SOME OF THEM GET CUT & REST REMAINED IN CUBICAL SHAPE. A COMPLETE CUBICAL ( SMALLER ) CAKE WAS GIVEN TO ADULTS & THE CUT OFF THE PART OF A SMALLER IS GIVEN TO A CHILD( WHICH IS NOT AN ADULT). IF ALL THE CAKES WERE GIVEN EQUALLY EACH PIECE TO A PERSON , TOTAL HOW MANY PEOPLE COULD GET THE CAKE ?
