• A. $2,24,000$
• B. $2,16,000$
• C. $2,25,000$
• D. $2,18,000$

Answer 1

The correct option is B

$2,16,000$

Explanation for the correct option

Given, $150$ babies are born every minute.

We know that there are $24$ hours in a day.
We also know that there are $60$ minutes in an hour. Thus,
There are $24\times 60=1440$ minutes in a day.

So, if $150$ babies are born every minute, then in $1440$ minutes, there will be $150\times 1440=216000$ babies being born in a day.

Therefore, $2,16,000$ share the same birth date.

Hence, option(B) i.e. $2,16,000$ is correct.
