Question

Out of 5,432 apples harvested, 2,789 were not riped. If an additional 1,256 riped apples were added later, then the final number of ripe apples is .

• A. 4,899
• B. 4,909
• C. 3,909
• D. 3,899

Answer 1

The correct option is D 3,899

Total number of apples harvested
= 5,432

Number of unripe apples = 2,789

∴ Number of ripe apples in the initial harvest = 5,432 - 2,789

Calculating 5,432 - 2,789 using the standard method, we get:


∴ The number of ripe apples in the initial harvest is 2,643.

But later, an additional 1,256 ripe apples were added to the bunch.

So, the final number of ripe apples in the harvest is the result of
2,643 + 1,256.

Calculating 2,643 + 1,256 using the standard method, we get:


∴ The final number of ripe apples in the harvest is 3,899.
