Answer 2

Here is your answer

______________

Let the chocolates in the ratio be 5x and 7x

Given, total number of chocolates = 96

According to the question,

5x + 7x = 96

12x = 96

x = $\frac{96}{12}$

x = 8

∴ Number of chocolates with Raj = 5x = 5 * 8 = 40

∴ Number of chocolates with Ravin = 7x = 7 * 8 = 56
