Question

One package contains 143 mangoes. Are 25 packages enough for 4,000 mangoes?

• A. Yes
• B. No
• C. Cannot be determined
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B No

Number of mangoes in 1 package = 143
∴ Number of mangoes in 25 packages = 143 $\times$ 25

Let us multiply the numbers using standard algorithm.


So, only 3,575 mangoes can be kept in 25 packages.

Now, 3575 < 4000

∴ 4,000 mangoes cannot be kept in 25 packages.

Hence, 25 packages are not enough to keep 4000 mangoes in them.
