Solution

The correct option is B 3
To distribute the pencils equally among 4 persons we need to find a quarter of total number of pencils.
We know how to find a quarter of a number.
We just need to divide 12 by 4 to calculate the quarter of 12.
that is 12 ÷ 4 = 3
So each person will have 3 pencils.
