• A. Three hundred twelve
• B. Four hundred twenty-five
• C. Three hundred twenty-five
• D. Four hundred fifteen

Answer 1

The correct option is B Four hundred twenty-five

Number of water bottles $=$ $3$ hundreds $12$ tens $5$ ones
$3$ hundreds $=$ $300$
$12$ tens $=$ $120$
$5$ ones $=$ $5$
So, number of water bottles $=300+120+5=300+125=425$

$\begin{array}{cccc}& \text{H}& \text{T}& \text{O}\\ & 3& 0& 0\\ +& 1& 2& 5\\ & 4& 2& 5\end{array}$
The number name of $425$ is ‘four hundred twenty-five’.
Hence, there are four hundred twenty-five water bottles.
