Because he hands out 5 more pencils to each pupil, the situation goes from 42 pencils extra to 47 pencils not enough. This is a difference of 89 pencils in quantity.
The extra 89 pencils decide how many students there are in the class.
Number of students = 89/5
= “17.8”
Other than the fact that the question seems flawed, this is the technique to solve such questions.
