Let the common multiple be x

So Chocolates Raju gets : 5x and that Ravi gets : 7x

5x + 7x = 96
12x = 96
x = 8


So, Raju : 5×8 = 40 choc
Ravi : 7×8 = 56 choc

Answer 2

Let the chocolates with Raju = 5x and chocolates with Ravi = 7x.......... ATQ. -----> 5x+7x = 96......12x = 96....... x = 96/12......... x = 8.......... Now put the value of x..... Raju has 5x chocolates = 5*8=40........... And Ravi has 7x chocolates = 7*8=56 ........
