The correct option is
B 227
Total number of eggs with the shopkeeper = 2,043
Number of eggs in 1 tray = 9
To find out the number of egg trays to keep all the eggs, we have to calculate the answer of 2043
÷ 9
Let us solve this through partial quotient method.
First, we write the values in the long division bracket.

Now, we find an easier multiple of the divisor 9, which is closer to the dividend 2043.

Now, we subtract the multiple 1800 from the dividend 2043 and write the partial quotients in the right column.

Let's keep repeating the process until the dividend is reduced to zero or the remainder is less than the divisor.

Adding all the partial quotients, we get the answer as 227.
∴ The final quotient is 200 + 20 + 7 = 227
Hence, the shopkeeper needs 227 egg trays to keep all the eggs.
