  • A \(\frac{m}{2}-3\le 10\)
  • B \(\frac{m}{2}-3\ge 10\)
  • C \(\frac{m-3}{2}\ge10\)
  • D \(\frac{m-3}{2}\le10\)
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Total number of mangoes = m
Amina ate 3 mangoes \(\implies\) Remainder = m - 3
Shared equally with Uche \(\implies \frac{m - 3}{2}\)
\(\frac{m - 3}{2} \geq 10\)
