on their housewarming, Shyam and Deepa received many gifts from their friends and relatives. one- third of them gifted sweets, 1/6 of them gifted furniture, 1/4 gifted clocks, and the remaining people gifted fruits.
To find:-
How many of their friends gave fruits as gift?

Let the total members are attended that party=X
Number of people who gifted sweets=1/3 rd of them=X/3
Number of people who gifted furniture =1/6 th of them=X/6
Number of people who gifted clocks=1/4th of them=X/4
Total number of people who gifted sweets,furniture and clocks=(X/3)+(X/6)+(X/4)
LCM of 3,6 and 4=12
=>(4X+2X+3X)/12
=>9X/12
=>3X/4
Remaining people=X-(3X/4)
=>(4X-3X)/4
=>X/4
=>(1/4)X
