Question

A fruit seller plans to distribute the apples equally in the baskets as shown and sell the remaining apples at his shop.

Find the number of apples left to sell.

• A. 88
• B. 96
• C. 124
• D. 140

Answer 1

The correct option is D 140

Total apples = 78540
Number of baskets = 400

The number of apples remaining is the remainder obtained on dividing the total numnber of apples by the number of baskets
i.e.,
78540 ÷ 400

Using long division, we get:

Here,
Quotient = 196
Remainder = 140

$\therefore$ The number of apples left to sell are 140.
