Question

There are 63 packets of bread each at 7 counters. If the total number of breads are equally rearranged in 9 counters, then how many packets will be there in each counter?

• A. 39
• B. 43
• C. 49
• D. 52

Answer 1

The correct option is C 49

Number of counters = 7

Number of breads in each packet = 63

∴ Total number of breads prepared
= 63 $\times$ 7

Multiplying 63 $\times$ 7 by standard method, we get:


So, there are total 441 packets of bread.
Now, these packets are equally rearranged in 9 counters.

∴ Each counter have 441 $÷$ 9 packets of bread.

Solving 441 $÷$ 9 using standard algorithm, we get:


Therefore, each counter will now have 49 packets of bread.
