A shopkeeper had a stock of 23898 kg of wheat out of which 1795 kg is sold in the morning and 2348 kg of wheat is sold in the evening. What quantity of wheat is left in the shop ?

Given:

Initial stock of wheat = 23898 kg

Wheat sold in the morning = 1795 kg

Wheat sold in the evening = 2348 kg

Formula used:

Remaining wheat = Initial stock - (Wheat sold in the morning + Wheat sold in the evening)

Calculation:

Remaining wheat = 23898 - (1795 + 2348)

⇒ Remaining wheat = 23898 - 4143

⇒ Remaining wheat = 19755 kg

∴ The correct answer is option (3).
