Correct Answer: Option B

Explanation

Let x = the number of oranges
The 1^st received ¹/₃ of x = ¹/₃x
∴Remainder = x - ¹/₃x = ^2x/₃
The 2^nd received ²/₃ of ^2x/₃ = ²/₃ * ^2x/₃ = ^4x/₃
The 3^rd received 12 oranges
∴¹/₃x + ^4x/₉ + 12 = x
(3x + 4x + 108)/9 = x
3x + 4x + 108 = 9x
7x + 108 = 9x
9x - 7x = 108
2x = 108
x = 54 oranges
