Answer:

A and D

Step-by-step explanation:

Total ice cream bars sold = sum of chocolate sold , vanilla and strawberry ice-creams sold.

=(1/2)x2 + (6/11)x + 8 + (5/9)x2 + (2/3) +(1/3)x2 + 4x +(4/3) (Given in the question)

=(25/18)x2 + (50/11)x + 10 (Adding terms corresponding to x2,x ,constant respectively)

Difference in chocolate and strawberry bars =[ (1/2)x2 + (6/11)x + 8] - [(1/3)x2 + 4x +(4/3)]

= (1/6)x2 - (38/11)x +(20/3)

So, the correct options are A and D
