hoa [83]

Answer:

8 packs of bottled water and 14 packs of candy bars

Step-by-step explanation:

Provided,

Each pack of water bottles = 35 bottles

Each pack of candy = 20 candy

Since quantity of candy in each pack is small than quantity of water bottle in each pack, in order to have same quantity in numbers of both bottles and candies,

Purchase quantity of candy packs shall be more than the pack of water bottles.

Further, with this option 1 and 2 are not valid as candy packs are same or less than packs of water bottle.

In option 3 and 4, option 3 have smaller quantities as provided manager bought the least possible quantity.

Accordingly

Option 3

8 packs of water bottle = $8 \times 35 = 280 \ water\ bottles$

14 packs of candy = $14 \times 20 = 280 \ candies$

Since the quantities of water bottles and candies are same this is an opt answer.
