Question

There are 40 oranges in the basket. If half of them are spoiled, then how many oranges are good?

• A. 20
• B. 30
• C. 25
• D. 15

Answer 1

The correct option is A 20

Total number of oranges $=40$
Spoiled oranges = Half of the total number of oranges
= Half of 40
= 20

Remaining oranges other than spoiled oranges are good ones.
Remaining oranges = Total oranges - spoiled oranges
= 40 - 20
= 20
$\therefore$ 20 oranges are good in the basket.
