Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 16.

Given that

Number of mangoes = 44

Number of bananas = 121

Number of apples = 11

Number of fruits in each row = LCM (44,121,11) = 11

Hence, minimum number of rows = 4411+12111+1111\frac{44}{11} + \frac{121}{11} + \frac{11}{11} = 16
