Question

Sam takes $5$ stars from Row $3$ and keeps them in Row $1$. Now, how many more stars does row $1$ have compared to the number in row $5$?

• A. $7$
• B. $6$
• C. $4$
• D. $5$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $6$

Number of stars in Row $1=12$
Sam takes $5$ starts from Row $3$ and adds those to Row $1$.
So, number of stars in Row $1=12+5=17$
Number of stars in Row $2=13$

Number of stars in Row $3=11$
After taking away $5$ stars, number of stars in Row $3=11-5=6$
Number of stars in Row $4=9$
Number of stars in Row $5=11$
Number of more stars in Row $1$ as compared to Row $5=$ Number of stars in Row $1$ − Number of stars in Row $5=17-11=6$
Hence, Option D is the correct answer.
