Solution

The correct option is C Both the statements are correct.
From the distributive property of division, only the dividend can be split as the sum of numbers.

$∴ 50 \div 5 = (25 + 25) \div 5 = (25 \div 5) + (25 \div 5) = 10$
and,
$∴ 50 \div 5 = (20 + 30) \div 5 = (20 \div 5) + (30 \div 5) = 10$

Since both the relations give correct results, both the statements are correct.
