a)

b)

c)

d)

Answer 1

Hint: To solve the above question we will use the concept of the unitary method. In this method we first find the value for 1 unit and then find the necessary value by multiplying the single value of the unit.

Complete step by step answer:
It is given that the below figure is equal to 10 bottles of apple juice.

So, half of the bottle symbol i.e. the symbol given below is equal to 5 bottles of apple juices.

We know from the question that one perfect symbol as shown below represents 10 bottles of apple juice.

So, half of the symbol like the one below, represents 5 bottles of apple juice because it is divided into equal half of the perfect symbol.

So, we can write 30 bottles = (10 +10+10) bottles.
So, we have 30 bottles as shown below,

So, we can say that 3 perfect bottle symbols represent 30 bottles.
So, 35 bottles of apple juice are equal to 30 bottles + 5 bottles
We know that 5 bottles are equal to half of the symbol,

So, we have 5 bottles as

Hence, 35 bottles = 30 bottles + 5 bottles =

So, the correct answer is “Option C”.

Note: Students can also directly get the answer by analysing the options. Since, it's given in the question that symbols below represent 10 bottles of juice, students can analyse that half of the symbol equal to 5 bottles of apple juice.

Also we will get that 20 bottles of apple juice is represented as shown below,

Similarly, we will get that 35 bottles of apple juice is represented as below,
