• B.
  Key::- represents 50 hand phones
• C.
  Key::- represents 50 hand phones
• D.
  Key::- represents 50 hand phones

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Key::- represents 50 hand phones

One represents 50 phones.
Number of phones sold on Wednesday = 150, i.e 50 $\times$ 3. So we use three for Wednesday.
One fifity more phones than Wednesday were sold on Tuesday. So another 3 needs to added for Tuesday, which makes the total required for Wednesday = 6.
