Question

Sima, Mira and Tina ate equal number of sweets from a box. If there were 30 sweets in the box originally, how many sweets did Sima eat?

• A. 7
• B. 10
• C. 15
• D. 8

Answer 1

The correct option is B 10

Sima, Mira and Tina ate equal number of sweets.
So, each one of Sima, Mira and Tina ate $\frac{1}{3}$ of the total number of sweets in the box.
Total number of sweets that were there in the box = 30
Number of sweets eaten by Sima
= $\frac{1}{3}$ of 30
= 10
