Solution
The correct option is C 274 Total number of books = 2735
Number of books in each shelf = 10
To find out the number of shelves needed let's divide 2735 by 10. 273102735−20––––273−70–––35−30–––5Thus, we have a quotient of 273 and a remainder of 5.
∴ We need 273 + 1 = 274 shelves to put all the books and the last shelf will have only 5 books.
