Answer:
23
Step-by-step explanation:
ria gets 34 + 25 + 19 = 78
Ruhi gets 18 + 21 = 39
78 = 39 * 2
remaining bag 23
23 chipped marbles are there
------------------------------------------
Way to solve
total marbles = 18 + 19 + 21 + 23 + 25 + 34 = 140
ria gets twice of ruhi
Let say ruhi gets = X
then ria gets = 2X
Let say chipped marbles = y
X + 2X + Y = 140
=> 3X + Y = 140
=> 3X + Y = 3 * 46 + 2
=> Y = 3 (46 - X) + 2
X is an integer => 46-X is also an integer
=> Y = 3 n + 2
only 23 ( 3* 7 + 2) satisfies this condition
