Answer 1

Let

Afrin having A candies = 9x and

Afrin having B candies = 11x

We have to find, how many candies will A get ?

Solution:

According to question,

11x = 154

⇒ x = $\dfrac{154}{11}$

⇒ x = 14

∴ Afrin having A candies = 9 × 14 = 126

Thus, the required option is "iii) 126".

Answer 2

Given : Afrin divides some candies among A and B in the ratio 9:11

B gets 154  candies

To find  :  How many candies will A get

i.     98

ii.     112

iii.   126

iv.   132​

Solution:

Let say A gets  candies = 9C

then B gets Candies  = 11C

Total Candies = 20C

B gets 154  candies

=> 11C  = 154

=> C = 14

A get candies = 9C

=> A gets candies = 9 x 14

=> A gets candies = 126

Total candies = 20C = 280

A gets candies = 126

option iii is correct
