Answer 1

5(2+6+4)

Explanation:

It is given that,

Five friends are selling tickets for a play. Each friend sells 2 tickets on Monday, 6 tickets on Wednesday, and 4 tickets on Thursday.

On Monday, no of tickets sold = 5(2)

On Wednesday, no of tickets sold = 5(6)

On Thursday, no of tickets sold = 5(4)

Total tickets sold :

T = 5(2) + 5(6) + 5(4)

T = 5(2+6+4)

T = 60

Hence, the correct option is (d).
