• A. 9
• B. 1
• C. 10
• D. 11

Answer 1

The correct option is A 9

Total number of candies $=50$
Number of candies jack kept$=5$
Candies to be distibuted among friends = Total number of candies - Number of candies jack kept
$=50-5=45$
Number of friends$=5$
Number of candies each friend got = Candies to be distibuted among friends $÷$ number of friends
$=45÷5$
$=9$
Hence, each friend will receive 9 candies.
