• A. $17$
• B. $\frac{17}{4}$
• C. $11$
• D. $4$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\frac{17}{4}$

$Totalsugarbought=4\times 3\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)$
$=4\times \left(\frac{7}{2}\right)$
$=14kgRemainingsugar=14kg-9\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)$
$=14-\left(\frac{39}{4}\right)$
$=\left(\frac{56-39}{4}\right)=\left(\frac{17}{4}\right)kg$
