Step 1
Tim eats multiples of three
Todd eats multiples of four
Rick eats multiples of six.
Gavin is not bussy.
Thus we have numbers to work with 3,4,6.
Step 2
Therefore, since uncle Sam want to give
same number of strawberries.
Then the number =2cm(3,4,6)
=12
Therefore, uncle Sam should give 12 strawberries to each of kid.
Option E is correct.
