• A. $62$
• B. $69$
• C. $63$
• D. $61$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $61$

Total number of chocolates $=244$

• First, we have to find whether or not $244$ chocolates can be equally divided among $4$ monsters.
• If the number formed by the last two digits in a number is divisible by $4$, then the number is divisible by $4$.
• The number formed by the last two digits of $244$ is $44$, which is divisible by 4. Thus, $244$ is divisible by $4$.
• $244÷4=61$.

Hence, each monster ate $61$ chocolates.
