• A. 12,360
• B. 36,012
• C. 12,460
• D. 30,012

Answer 1

The correct option is A 12,360

Number of vehicles used in 1994 = 5,580

Number of vehicles used in 1995 = 6,780

Total number of vehicles used = Sum of vehicles used in 1995 and 1994

= 6,780 + 5,580

Let's add the numbers using vertical addition.

Keep in mind that we are adding like terms only.


$\therefore$ The total number of vehicles used by the people in both the years is 12,360.
