Correct Answer: B

Solution:

  • Number of students $ =80 $ Number of teachers $ =5 $ Number of sweets that each students got = 15% of $ 80=\frac{15}{100}\times 80=12 $ Number of sweets that each teacher got. = 25% of $ 80=\frac{1}{4}\times 80=20 $ Total number of sweets $ =12\times 80+20\times 5 $ $ =960+100=1060 $
