Answer 2

Answer: Number of marble shyam is having is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

number of marbles with shyam, be x,

number of marble with ram be x+16  : according to question

so,

no. of marble with shyam + no. of marble with ram = 40

x + (x+16) = 40

2x+16=40

2x = 24

x = 12

marble with ram = x+16 = 12 + 16 = 28

marble with shyam = x = 12
