Seema has 15 pencils on Monday. Her brother gives her 5 more pencils on Tuesday, takes 3 pencils from her on Wednesday. She gets 7 pencils from a friend on Thursday. If her brother gives her 5 more pencils on Friday, then how many pencils will she have on Saturday? Correct Answer 29

  • Pencils with Seema on Monday = 15
  • Pencils on Tuesday = 15 + 5 (given by brother) = 20
  • Pencils on Wednesday = 20 - 3 (taken by brother) = 17
  • Pencils on Thursday = 17 + 7 (given by friend) = 24
  • Pencils on Friday = 24 + 5 (given by brother) = 29
  • No pencil was given or taken on Saturday.
  • Therefore, pencils on Saturday = pencils on Friday = 29

Hence, 29 is the correct answer.
