Answer 1

Answer:

The number of flowers offered by him in the temple is 24

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of flowers left to total flowers present initially = 3 : 5 = 3x : 5x

=> Total flowers at the beginning = 5x = 60

=> x = 12

=> flowers remained with her = 3x = 3 x 12 = 36

=> number of flowers offered at the temple = 60 - 36 = 24

Hence kaustubh offered 24 flowers in the temple.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

3 : 5 = 3x : 5x

Flowers in the beginning = 5x = 60

= x = 12

3x = 3*12 = 36

60- 36 = 24

So Kaustubh offered 24 flowers in the temple.
