      A D, 84 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B C, 72 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C B, 60 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D C, 84 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E D, 96 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the number of pens with B, C and D be 4m then the number of pen with A will be m.Hence, m + 4m = 240=> 5m = 240=> m = 48In the similar way we can calculate the number of pens with B, C and D respectively.So number of pens with B, C and D will be 60, 72, and 60 respectively.Hence C has the maximum number of pens.
