Question

rahul and anish are having some marbles rahul says to anish "if u give me one third of your marbles, the i will have 5 more marbles than you." if rahul has 12 marbles how many does anish has

Answer 1

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

Initially Rahul has 12 marbles

So let Anish have 'x' number of marbles

Rahul gives one third of his marbles to Anish,

therefore, 1/3*12 =4

So Anish now has x+4 marbles

and Rahul has 8 marbles.

Now Anish is having 5 marbles more than him

therefore 8-5=3

Anish initially had 3 marbles,so now he has 3+5 =8 marbles

Hope this helps
