Question

246 sheets can be kept in a folder.
If Rohan wants to keep 6,000 sheets in 23 folders, how many sheets are left out?

• A. 342 sheets
• B. 435 sheets
• C. 546 sheets
• D. 427 sheets

Answer 1

The correct option is A 342 sheets

Number of sheets in 1 folder = 246
There are a total of 23 folders.

∴ Number of sheets in 23 folders
$=246\times 23$

Let us multiply the numbers using standard algorithm.


Rohan wants to keep 6,000 sheets.
But only 5,658 sheets can be stored in 23 folders.

So, let us subtract the numbers to identify how many sheets are left.


Hence, the number of sheets left = 342.
