Answer: C. 48,4

Group 1: 1/2 of 36 pupils = 18 pupils. They took 18 * 5 = 90 meatballs.
Group 2: 1/6 of 36 pupils = 6 pupils. They took 6 * 2 = 12 meatballs.
Total meatballs taken so far: 90 + 12 = 102 meatballs.
Remaining meatballs: 150 - 102 = 48.
Remaining pupils: 36 - 18 - 6 = 12 pupils.
Meatballs per remaining pupil: 48 / 12 = 4.
Final Answers: (a) 48 meatballs, (b) 4 meatballs.
