The riddle challenges us to determine the number of fruits a boy has in his bag. Let’s break it down in a way that’s easy to understand:

First, we need to count the fruits only. Here’s how it adds up:

The boy has a total of:

3 apples

1 banana

2 oranges

5 pears

When we add them all together, we get:

3 + 1 + 2 + 5 = 11 fruits.

So, the correct answer is 11 fruits. It’s simple when you think about it!
