Question

There are 30 mud pots and 10 clay pots. How many pots are there in total?

• A. 10
• B. 40
• C. 20
• D. 30

Answer 1

The correct option is B 40

Number of mud pots $=30$
Number of clay pots $=10$
Total number of pots $=30+10$

When we add 30 and 10 vertically as shown below, we get 4 rods as the answer.

	T	O	Tens	Ones
	3	0
+	1	0
	4	0

Thus, $30+10=40$. There are 40 pots.
Hence, Option B is correct.
