Answer 1

The correct option is A 14

Let us split 56 into rods and blocks.
56 = 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 6
= 5 rods and 6 blocks

Let us divide 5 rods and 6 blocks by 4.
On grouping 5 rods in four, we are left with one rod and 6 blocks.

1 rod 6 blocks = 10 blocks + 6 blocks = 16 blocks

Thus, 56 divided by 4 is 14.
