Solution

The correct option is D $91$
Jerry bought $191$ nuts on Monday.
He bought $173$ nuts on Tuesday.
Total number of nuts bought by Jerry $= 191 + 173$

To find the number of nuts to be given to the squirrels per day such that they last $4$ days, we will divide $364$ into $4$ equal parts.
Number of nuts to be given per day $= 364 \div 4$

Therefore, he should give the squirrels $91$ nuts per day to make them last $4$ days.
