Detailed Solution

Given that the number of colour pencils in a pack is 24 and the number of crayons in each pack is 32.
Factorise the numbers 24 and 32:

24 = 2^{3} \times 3

\Rightarrow 32 = 2^{5}

\Rightarrow LCM (24, 32) = 96

In 1 pack there are 24 pencils.

\Rightarrow 96 = 4 \times 24

\Rightarrow

4 packs of pencils need to be brought.
In 1 pack there are 32 crayons.

\Rightarrow 96 - 3 \times 32

\Rightarrow

3 packs of crayons need to be brought.
Therefore, 4 packs of pencils and 3 packs of crayons should be brought.
Hence, option 4 is correct.
