Question

Two men A and B together caught 60 frogs. A caught four times as many as B. How many frogs did B catch ?

• A. 12
• B. 15
• C. 30
• D. 45
• E. 48

Answer 1

The correct option is A 12

Suppose the number of frogs caught by b is x
$\therefore$ The number of frogs caught by A is 4x
4x + x = 60
or 5x = 60
$\therefore$ $x=\frac{60}{5}=12$
