1/12 (2200) = 183. 33 => 185 i.e. Secretary's day should be the answer. i.e. Option B.

A. Valentine's Day

E. Graduation



We see that the number of birthday cards sold is 2,200, and 1/12 of that is approximately 200 (notice that 1/12 of 2,400 is exactly 200). Since 185 is closest to 200, the occasion is Secretary's Day.
