Question

A basket contains 136 chocolates. From it, a boy eats 2 chocolates in the morning, 4 in the afternoon and 2 in the evening everyday. He keeps eating until the basket is not empty. Then how many days he will take to empty the basket?

• A. 17 days
• B. 68 days
• C. 24 days
• D. 34 days

Answer 1

The correct option is A 17 days

Boy eats 2 chocolates in the morning, 4 in the afternoon and 2 in the evening everyday.

So, the total number of chocolates that a boy eats in a day = 2 + 4 + 2 .

Number of days boy will take to finish 136 chocolate = $136÷(2+4+2)=136÷8=17$

So, option ‘a’ is the correct answer.
