A. 78
B. 69
C. 88
D. 79
E. None of these
Answer: Option C
Solution(By Examveda Team)
Number of toffees distributed := 5% of 160 + 15% of 160 + $$\frac{{1}}{{4}}$$ of 160
= $$ \left( {\frac{5}{{100}} \times 160} \right) + \left( {\frac{{15}}{{100}} \times 160} \right) + $$ $$\left( {160 \times \frac{1}{4}} \right)$$
= 8 + 24 + 40
= 72
∴ Number of toffees left behind :
= 160 - 72
= 88
