14) Anita divided some chocolates among three sons such that for every 4 chocolates that her eldest son
got, her second son got 3 chocolates. For every 2 chocolates that her second son got, her third son got 3

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

13 : D

14: Let the number of chocolates received by Anita’s first,

Second and third sons be a, b and c respectively.

As a/b= 4/3 , b must be multiple of 3.

As b/c= 2/3 , b must be multiple of 2

Hence b must be multiple of both 3 and 2 i.e. 6

If b = 6, a = 8 and c = 9

Hence a:b:c = 8:6:9

Total numbers of chocolates received by the other two sons = (9+8)/6 (12) = 34
