Question

Goutham bought 3 boxes of tennis balls, and each box contains 3 balls. Goutham and his three friends shared these tennis balls equally. How many are left?

• A. 1
• B. 2
• C. 3
• D. 4

Answer 1

The correct option is A 1

3 boxes of tennis balls, each containing 3 balls. This implies the total number of tennis balls is equal to $3\times 3$ = 9.
If 4 people(including Goutham) share these 9 tennis balls equally, there will be one as remainder.[Divide 9 by 4 and get a quotient of 2 and a remainder of 1]
