Question

You buy a box of 26 chocolates. Instead of eating 1 you eat 2 chocolates per day. The box of chocolates will last for days.

• A. 26
• B. 13
• C. 15

Answer 1

The correct option is B 13

Given,
Number of chcolates = 26
Number of days taken to eat at 1 chocolate per day = 26 days

Let the number of days taken to eat 2 chocolates per day be $x$ days.

$\begin{array}{ccc}\text{Rate of eating}& 1& 2\\ \text{Number of days}& 26& x\end{array}$

Rate and number of days are inverse to each other.

$\therefore 1\times 26=2\times x$
$x=\frac{26}{2}=13$ days

26 chocolates will last for 13 days.
