Solution

The correct option is A 10 bags
The farmer buys 70 bags of fertilizer.

He uses 20 bags in a field.

Remaining bags = 70 - 20 = 50 bags

Bags of fertilizer for the other 5 fields = 50 bags

For each field = $\frac{50}{10}$ = 10 bags

Hence. each field of 5 fields get 10 bags of fertilzer.
