Question

A cement merchant had 450 bags of cement in his godown. He sold 178 bags of cement. Now how many bags are left in the godown?

• A. 84
• B. 72
• C. 65
• D. 13

Answer 1

The correct option is B 72

Number of cement bags in godown = 450
Number of cement bags sold = 178
Number of bags left = 450 - 178

$341\text{/}4\text{/}50\underset{–}{-178}\underset{–}{72}$

So, the number of bags left in the godown = 72
