Solution

The correct option is A 5p + 30
Given: The number of pencils bought by Shilpa = p
Then, the number of pencils bought by Devi = 4p
Hence, the total number of pencils bought by the girls is p + 4p = 5p.
Also, the number of pencils remaining in the shop after the girls bought the pencils is 30.

So, the required algebraic expression is 5p + 30.
