a) 30 guavas
b) 35 guavas
c) 40 guavas
d) 45 guavas
correct answer is: d) 45 guavas
Explanation
Sitara Begam had 60 guavas in her fruits shop.
She sold \large\frac{1}{4} th part of the guavas.
Let, Total guava’s part is = 1
So that, left guavas part is =\left(1-\large\frac{1}{4}\right)
\rightarrow\large\left(\frac{4-1}{4}\right) part
\rightarrow\large\left(\frac{3}{4}\right) part
\therefore Number of guavas left with her are =\left(60\times\large\frac{3}{4}\right)
\rightarrow\ 45 pieces.
Ans: After selling 1/4th of the guavas she had, Sitara Begam has 45 guavas left in her fruit shop.
