A. 35
B. 105
C. 180
D. 210
E. 420
Since it's possible that 4 children will attend, the correct answer must be a multiple of 4.
An integer is a multiple of 4 only if its LAST TWO DIGITS form a multiple of 4.
Eliminate A, B and D, since 35, 05, and 10 are not multiples of 4.
Since it's possible that 7 children will attend, the correct answer must be a multiple of 7.
Eliminate C, since 180 is not a multiple of 7.
The correct answer is
E.
