Answer 1

The correct option is B No

To determine whether we can pack 888 candies equally in 10 boxes, we have to check the divisibility rule of 10.

Divisibility rule of 10 is:
If the digit at ones place of a number is 0, then the number is divisible by 10.


We can see that 888 is not divisible by 10.
∴ We cannot divide 888 candies in 10 boxes equally.
