Answer:
Round up
He should bring 60 sweets.
Step-by-step explanation:
If there are 53 children and Shivam wants to give each child a sweet, he should bring at least 53 sweets.
If Shivam wants to round the number of sweets to the nearest 10, he needs to round up instead of down.
Rounding up = 60 sweets
Rounding down = 50 sweets
Reason: If he rounds it down, he would have gone to school with only 50 sweets and 3 of his friends will not get a sweet. However, if he goes to school with 60 sweets, he will have 7 extra sweets and he can give them to other students to make more friends.
53 nearest to 10 is 50 as it's last digit is 3 so it should be taken at less value actually. But as there were 53 students it should be rounded off to 60.
