• C. 124
• D. 118

Answer 1

The correct option is A 112

Manav has 28 pens.
Sahil has 56 pens more than Manav.
Let us represent a tape diagram as:

So, Sahil has:
= 28 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1
= 78 + 6
= 84

Now to find the total number of pens, we first draw the tape diagram.

∴ Total number of pens is equal to:
= 84 + 10 + 10 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1
= 10 4 + 8
= 112

So, the total number of pens with Manav and Sahil is 112.
