Solution
The correct option is A 12 No. of students = 5
Total candies = 60
Each student will get = 60 ÷ 5 candies
Splitting 60 into rods and blocks,
60 = 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10
= 6 rods
Grouping 6 rods in group of 5, we are left with 1 rod.
1 rod = 10 blocks
Dividing 10 blocks by 5, we get 2 blocks.
Thus, 60 ÷ 5 = 10 + 2 = 12
