Question

If there are 14 oranges in one basket, then there are oranges in 16 such baskets.

• A. 224
• B. 168
• C. 234
• D. 254

Answer 1

The correct option is A 224

There are 14 oranges in one basket.

$\therefore$ There are $14\times 16$ oranges in 16 such baskets.

We know that
$14\times 16=(10+4)\times (10+6).$

$\begin{array}{ccc}\times & 10& 4\\ 10& 100& 40\\ 6& 60& 24\end{array}$

Adding the four numbers, we get:

$100+40+60+\underset{–}{24}\underset{–}{224}$

$\therefore$ There are 224 oranges in 16 baskets.
