equal size of groups for 36 members can be formed as :
18x2
12x3
9x4
6x6 also 4x9,3x12,2x18
if we consider 9x4 where 9=members and 4=groups
now 3 members taken from each (4)groups and formed two additional group:
= 3x4 = 12members or 2 groups 0f 6 members.
previously we considered 9 members in 4 groups after taking out 3 members from each group the new reduced size of groups will have (9-3) = 6 members
thus all groups have 6 members
therefore ,
members of the team were in a group before the three members were taken out from each group = 9

let there be n groups each group contains 36/n
number of people in each group after removing people=36/(n+2)
so 36/n-3=36/(n+2)
solving we get 6 and -4
so 6 is no of groups and each group contains 6 members

let there be n groups each group contains 36/n
number of people in each group after removing people=36/(n+2)
so 36/n-3=36/(n+2)
solving we get -6 and 4
so 4 is no of groups previously and each group contained 9 members

36 members are divided into 4 groups each of 9 members.

(C) 9

With initially 'x' members in each group, then number of groups=36/x
After taking out 3 members from each group, number of group formed are 2 more than the previous, so 36/(x-3)=(36/x) + 2
x^2 -3x -54=0
(x+6)(x-9)=0
So x=9
