to correct everyone, o/0 is not infinity....... it is undefined that is 0/0 can take any value, it can be 1 2 3 4 5 6 or even 0. This is becoz 0* any number gives zero. Its basic mathematics..........

And to your doubt, if we give 6 sweets to 2 ppl each gets 3.
similarly if 0 sweets are given to 0 ppl ans shud be 0 . How van you give something to no one. Zero people means no one...

I would be expecting comments.
