many sweets were available for distribution?

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total no. of student present=175-35=140

now sweets are equally distributed

so when we would divide total no of sweets by 140(students) the remainder should be zero

now 2400/140=17.14 (so not ok) there is some remainder.

same with 2480 and 2600 there are remainder but when2800/140=20 so remainder is 0

Hence correct answer=(D)
