Question

Abhishek has 45 marbles with him. He bought 5 packets of 24 marbles each. How many marbles does Abhishek have now?

• A. 145
• B. 150
• C. 165
• D. 170

Answer 1

The correct option is C

165

Given: Number of marbles in 1 packet = $24$

Number of marbles in 5 packets = $24\times 5=120$

$\begin{array}{ccccc}& & & 2\left(carry\right)& \\ & & & 2& 4\\ & \times & & & 5\\ & & 1& 2& 0\end{array}$

Number of marbles Abhishek had initially = $45$

Hence, total number of marbles with Abhishek is $120+45=165$.
