Solution
The correct option is A 4
Ravi has 20 sweets.
He packs 5 sweets in the first box.
Remaining sweets = 20 - 5 = 15
Now, he packs the second box by taking another 5 sweets.
Remaining sweets = 15 - 5 = 10
Number of sweets remaining after packing the third box with 5 sweets = 10 - 5 = 5
He packs the last five sweets in the fourth box.
Sweets left = 5 - 5= 0
Thus, he packs 4 boxes in total.
