Manoj collected 12 chocolates from each house he visited Diwali's day. He visited 16 houses that day. After reaching home, Manoj gave half of his chocolates to his mother and half of the chocolates, that is left after giving his mother, to his younger brother. How many chocolates is left with Manoj now?

 

Given:
Number of chocolates collected from $1$ house $=12$

Number of houses visited$=16$

To find:
Number of chocolates left with Steve after sharing

Calculation:
Total number of chocolates collected by Steve on Halloween's day $=12\times 16=192$

He gave half of his chocolates to his mother. Therefore,
Number of chocolates given to mother $=\frac{192}{2}=96$

He gave the half of remaining chocolates to his younger brother. Therefore,
Number of chocolates given to his younger brother$=\frac{96}{2}=48$

Hence, number of chocolates left with Steve now $=192-96-48=48$

Hence, the correct answer is Option C.
