Question

If 8 matchsticks are used to make the number 75, then matchsticks will be required to make it 6 times.

• A. 48
• B. 36
• C. 42

Answer 1

The correct option is A 48

The number 75 is formed using matchsticks as shown below:


We can see that 8 sticks are used to make the number 75.
So, if the number 75 needs to be made $n$ times then, the number of match sticks required = $8\times n$
But, as per the question 75 has to be repeated 6 times
So, $n=6$
So, the number of matchsticks required is $8\times 6=48$
