Question

A man buys a dozen of bananas and 4 more on the first day. The next day he buys 2 dozen bananas and 4 more. He follows the same sequence for buying bananas. How many bananas will he buy on the 4th day.

• A. 60 bananas
• B. 40 bananas
• C. 48 bananas
• D. 52 bananas

Answer 1

The correct option is D 52 bananas

1 dozen = 12

$\text{First day:}12+4=16\text{Second day:}12+12+4=28\text{Third day:}12+12+12+4=40\text{Fourth day:}12+12+12+12+4=52$

So on the fourth day, the man will buy a total of 52 bananas.
