  1. 54

  2. 27

  3. 6

  4. 12


Correct Option: C

AI Explanation

To solve this question, we can use the given information about the monkeys and bananas and apply it to find the solution.

We are told that 6 monkeys can eat 6 bananas in 6 minutes. This means that each monkey takes 6 minutes to eat 1 banana.

To find out how many monkeys would it take to eat 54 bananas in 54 minutes, we can start by considering the rate at which the monkeys eat bananas. Since each monkey takes 6 minutes to eat 1 banana, in 1 minute, each monkey will eat 1/6 of a banana.

Therefore, in 54 minutes, each monkey would eat 54/6 = 9 bananas.

To eat 54 bananas in 54 minutes, we would need 54/9 = 6 monkeys.

So, the correct answer is option C) 6.
