Answer:
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 $
