Solution

The correct option is A 4
To find out how many chocolates Henry has left with him, we need to divide 16 by 6.

If Henry gives 6 chocolates to one of his friends, he has $16 - 6 = 10$ chocolates left with him.

If he gives 6 out of the 10 chocolates that he has, he is left with $10 - 6 = 4$ chocolates.

He cannot give it to another friend as he is 2 chocolates short.

$∴$ After distributing $6 + 6 = 12$ chocolates in total to two of his friends, Henry is left with 4 chocolates.

In other words, the remainder when 16 is divided by 6 is 4.
