Solution

The correct option is B Kellogs
Since the nuts cost 4, $5,$ 3.5, $7$ respectively at Mohun, Sun, Kellogs, Run; the number of nuts per dollar become $\frac{1}{4}, \frac{1}{5}, \frac{1}{3.5}, \frac{1}{7}$ respectively.
Since $\frac{1}{3.5}$ is the largest out of those, Suresh needs to buy cornflakes from Kellogs.
