• A. 2000

Answer 1

The correct option is A 2000
1 cardboard box can hold 16 packets and each packate have 25 candies.
So, in 5 of these cardboard boxes, total number of candies present $=5\times 16\times 25$
Using associative property of multiplication:
$5\times 16\times 25=(5\times 16)\times 25$

$\Rightarrow (5\times 16)\times 25=80\times 25$


So, 5 cardboard boxes will have a total of 2000 candies.
