Solution
The correct option is C 5 ladoos in each box
To distribute the ladoos equally inside a box such that none are left out, the number of ladoos inside a box should be a factor of 26.
Factors of 26: 1, 2, 13,26
1 x 26 = 26
2 x 13 = 26
13 x 2 = 26
26 x 1 = 26
We can clearly see that 5 is not a factor of 26.
Hence, 5 ladoos cannot be distributed in box such that none are left out.
