Direction: Read the passage and answer the question.
A, B, C and D are four friends living together in a flat and they have an agreement that whatever edible comes they will share equally among themselves. One day A’s uncle came to him and gave him a box of laddoos. Since no one was around, A divided the laddoos in four equal parts and ate his share after which he put the rest in the box. As he was closing the box, B walked in, took the box from A and divided the laddoos in 4 equal parts and A and B took one part each and ate it. Suddenly C appeared and snatched the box. He again divided the laddoos in four equal parts, the three of them ate one part each and kept the remaining laddoos in the box. Later when D came he again divided the laddoos in four equal parts and all four ate their respective share. In total D ate 3 laddoos.
