Question

In a class, the professor gave $5$ candies each to $25$ students on Tuesday.
On Monday, the professor gave $5$ candies each to $12$ boys and $5$ candies each to $13$ girls.
On which day, the professor gave more candies?

• A. Monday
• B. Tuesday
• C. The professor gave equal number of candies on both the days.

Answer 1

The correct option is C The professor gave equal number of candies on both the days.

Number of candies given by the professor on Monday $=5\times (12+13)$
$=5\times 12+5\times 13$
$=60+65$
$=125$

Number of candies given by the professor on Tuesday $=5\times 25$
$=125$

The professor gave equal number of candies on both the days, i.e., on Monday and Tuesday.
