Detailed Solution

Concept- A mobile shop has 168 phones on display, all of which are evenly distributed among 6 glass cases. Let's say that there are "x" phones in each glass case, making the total number of phones, which is provided as 168, equal to multiplying "x" by 6. Thus, we can calculate the number of phones in each scenario by dividing 168 by 6.
Find the number of mobile phones in each glass case given that there are 168 mobile phones on exhibit and that they are distributed equally among the six cases.
If each glass case contains "x" phones, then multiplying x by 6 gives us,

Now, equating the above number of phones to the total phones (which are 168) we get,

Dividing 6 on both the sides of the above equation we get,

From the aforementioned solution, we have determined that is equal to 28. Due to our presumption that there will be 28 phones in each glass case, 28 phones are visible in each glass case.
Hence, the correct option is 2.
