Here is the complete question:
A grocer was selling oranges at a penny each, olives at 2 for a penny and pears at 3 for a penny. A father spent 7p and got the same amount of each type of fruits for each of his children: Jane, Joe and Jill.
What did each child get?
a) 1 orange, 2 olives, 1 pear
b) 1 orange, 2 olives, 2 pears
c) 1 orange, 3 olives, 2 pears
d) 1 orange, 1 olive, 1 pear
ANS: A
since he spent 7 pennies..
So, he spent 2 pennies on oranges = 1 orange
3 pennies on pears= 1 pear
Now, 7-(2+3)= 2 pennies
Therefore, these 2 pennies were spent on buying 2 olives
since 1 olive cost 1 penny so 2 pennies = 2 olives
Therefore , ans is A option
