Palak Chaudhary answered
Total Number of Candies
The total number of candies in all four boxes is given as 282.
Candies in the First Three Boxes
The candies in the first three boxes are:
- Box 1: 72 candies
- Box 2: 85 candies
- Box 3: 67 candies
Calculating the Total in the First Three Boxes
To find out how many candies are in the first three boxes, we add them together:
- 72 + 85 + 67
Calculating this step-by-step:
- First, add 72 and 85:
- 72 + 85 = 157
- Next, add 67 to 157:
- 157 + 67 = 224
So, the total number of candies in the first three boxes is 224.
Finding the Number of Candies in the Fourth Box
Now, to find out how many candies are in the fourth box, we subtract the total number of candies in the first three boxes from the total number of candies:
- Total candies = 282
- Total in the first three boxes = 224
Now, calculate the candies in the fourth box:
- 282 - 224 = 58
Conclusion
Therefore, the number of candies in the fourth box is 58.
The correct answer is option 'D', which confirms that Joy will find 58 candies in the fourth box!

Understanding the Problem
To find the smallest 3-digit number using the digits 3, 7, and 2, we need to consider the placement of each digit in the hundreds, tens, and units places.
Analyzing the Digits
We have three digits:
- 2
- 3
- 7
To form a 3-digit number, the leftmost digit (hundreds place) must be the smallest digit to ensure the overall number is minimized.
Choosing the Smallest Digit
- The smallest digit among 2, 3, and 7 is 2.
- Therefore, 2 should occupy the hundreds place.
Forming the Number
Now that we have placed 2 in the hundreds place, we have the following remaining digits to arrange in the tens and units places:
- Remaining digits: 3 and 7.
To keep the number as small as possible, we should place the next smallest digit in the tens place:
- Place 3 in the tens place.
- Finally, place 7 in the units place.
Thus, the number formed is 237.
Conclusion
So, the smallest 3-digit number that can be formed with the digits 3, 7, and 2 is:
- 237 (Option A)
Hence, the correct answer is option 'A'.

Deepika Menon answered
Understanding the Shape of a Circle
A circle is a unique geometric shape characterized by its smooth, round form. To comprehend why curved lines are essential in drawing a circle, let’s break it down.
What Defines a Circle?
- A circle is defined as the set of all points in a plane that are equidistant from a fixed center point.
- This equidistance creates a perfectly round shape, which cannot be achieved with straight lines or any other type of line.
Reasons for Using Curved Lines
- Smoothness: Curved lines allow for a smooth transition around the center, creating the continuous arc that is fundamental to a circle.
- No Sharp Edges: Unlike straight lines, which form angles and corners, curved lines do not have any sharp edges, making them ideal for representing the round nature of a circle.
- Mathematical Definition: In geometry, a circle is represented mathematically using curves. The formula for a circle involves curves, emphasizing their importance.
Comparison with Other Line Types
- Zigzag Lines: These create a jagged appearance and are not suitable for forming a smooth round shape.
- Straight Lines: They connect two points directly and can only create angles, not curves.
- Dotted Lines: While they can suggest a shape, they do not create a complete form, as they are made of separate segments.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the use of curved lines is essential for accurately drawing a circle. Their ability to create a seamless, round shape distinguishes them from all other line types, making them the correct choice for this task.

Calculating the Number of Glasses
Now, we can find out how many glasses are needed to hold this amount of juice.
- To do this, we divide the total volume of juice (1000 mL) by the volume of one glass (250 mL):
- Number of glasses = Total volume / Volume of one glass
- Number of glasses = 1000 mL / 250 mL = 4
Conclusion
Therefore, we need 4 glasses to hold 1 liter of juice.
- This means that the correct answer is option C.
Summary
- Glass capacity: 250 mL
- Total juice: 1 liter = 1000 mL
- Calculation: 1000 mL / 250 mL = 4 glasses
In conclusion, to hold 1 liter of juice, you would indeed need 4 glasses.

Gitanjali Nair answered
Understanding the Best Tool for Measuring Ribbon Length
When it comes to measuring the length of a ribbon, using the right tool is essential for accuracy and convenience.
Why Measuring Tape is Ideal
- Flexibility: Measuring tapes are designed to be flexible, allowing them to easily wrap around and conform to the shape of the ribbon.
- Length Capacity: Most measuring tapes can measure longer lengths than a standard ruler or metre rod, making them suitable for various ribbon sizes.
- Ease of Use: Measuring tapes typically come with a locking mechanism, which helps keep the tape in place while you measure. This is particularly useful for longer ribbons that may be difficult to hold still.
Comparison with Other Tools
- Metre Rod: While a metre rod is precise, its rigidity makes it difficult to measure flexible items like ribbons, which can easily bend and twist.
- Ruler: A ruler is limited in length (usually 30 cm or 12 inches), making it impractical for longer ribbons. It also lacks the flexibility needed to measure curves or non-linear shapes.
- Stopwatch: A stopwatch is not a measuring tool; it is used for timing events. It has no application in measuring length and is not relevant in this context.
Conclusion
In summary, a measuring tape is the most suitable tool for measuring the length of a ribbon due to its flexibility, capacity for longer measurements, and user-friendly design. Always choose the right tool to ensure accurate measurements!

Representation of one-quarter of a whole pizza
One-quarter of a whole pizza is represented by the fraction 1/4. This means that if you were to divide a pizza into four equal parts, each of those parts would be one-quarter of the whole pizza.

Understanding fractions
Fractions are a way of representing parts of a whole. The top number of a fraction (numerator) represents how many parts you have, while the bottom number (denominator) represents how many equal parts the whole is divided into. In this case, the fraction 1/4 means you have one part out of four equal parts.

Visual representation
If you imagine a pizza cut into four slices, each slice would represent one-quarter of the pizza. So, if you were to take one of those slices, you would have one-quarter of the whole pizza.
Therefore, the correct answer to the question "What fraction represents one-quarter of a whole pizza?" is option B) 1/4.
