Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

let the total no. of toffies be x

then, toffies given to elder son = x/3

remaining toffies = x- x/3 = 2x/3

toffies given to younger son = 1/4 × 2x/3

= x/6

still 30 toffies are left.

A/q

x/3 + x/6 + 30 = x

x - x/3 - x/6 = 30

(6x - 2x - x)/6 = 30

3x/6 = 30

x = 30 × 6/3

x = 60

total toffies = 60

toffies given to younger son = x/6 = 60/6

= 10
