@Cemantha : 5 ?? can u explain ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@dpaInc can you help

OpenStudy (ganpat):

@Cemantha : it looks little logical.. you can try dividing 15..

OpenStudy (ganpat):

15/1 = 15 15/3 = 5 15/5 = 3 15/15 = 1.. so she has 4 possible options...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok then its 4

OpenStudy (ganpat):
