Answer 1

The correct option is D Four hundred five

Number of chocolates in the shop $=340$
Number of chocolates brought $=230$
Total number of chocolates $=340+230=570$
$\begin{array}{cccc}& \text{H}& \text{T}& \text{O}\\ & 3& 4& 0\\ +& 2& 3& 0\\ & 5& 7& 0\end{array}$
Number of chocolates sold $=165$
So, number of chocolates left $=570-165=405$

The number name of $405$ is ‘four hundred five’.
Hence, four hundred five chocolates are left in the shop.
