Question

Samuel was given some trays of eggs to examine. If each tray had 14 eggs, Which of the following is not possible number of total eggs that he examined?

• A. $85$
• B. $70$
• C. $126$
• D. $154$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $85$

Number of eggs in each tray $=14$

Number of trays must be a natural number.

Possible number of total eggs, he examined, must be a multiple of 14.

On checking throught given options,
$70=14\times 5126=14\times 9154=14\times 11$

85 is not a multiple of 14.
