Multiple choice general knowledge

Polydactyly is a condition causing an individual to have more fingers or toes than normal. Most of us adding our fingers and toes together get 20 as the answer. Devendra Harne (b. 1995) and Pranamya Menaria (b. 2005) both have the condition. In 2009 they held the record between them for extra digits. If they count the fingers and toes on their hands and feet what total would they come up with?

B Correct answer
Explanation

Normal humans have 20 digits (10 fingers + 10 toes). Polydactyly adds extra digits. Harne had 12 fingers and 13 toes (25 total), Menaria had similar counts. 25 is the correct sum of their combined digits. Option C (24) would be correct for just one person with 12 extra digits, but the question asks for their combined total.
