• A. 4
• B. 1
• C. 2
• D. 3

Answer 1

The correct option is B 1

Total number of candles = 246
1 packet cointains 5 candles.

Total number of packets
$=246÷5$
By, using long division method, we get
$$\begin{array}{c}49\\ 5246\\ -\underset{–}{20}2\\ 46\\ -\underset{–}{45}\\ 1\end{array}$$
Hence, the total number of packets made is 49.
The number of unpacked candles is 1.
