Question

Suppose Ravi ate 2 chocolates,Meena ate 3 chocolates and Mridu ate some chocolates we don't know.So after Mridu eats 5 chocolates are left .How to find that how many chocolates did Mridu eat ??

Answer 1

Your Answer:

Let the total number of Chocolates be 'x'.

And we have Ravi ate 2 chocolates and Meena ate 3 chocolates.

And Let the number of chocolates ate by Mridu is 'y'.

So, ATQ,

$\tt 2 + 3 + y = x - 5 \\\\ \tt \Rightarrow y = x - 10$

So, Mridu eats 10 chocolates less than the total Chocolates.

There is no possible way to find the number of Chocolates ate by Mridu.

Because the Equation formed has two variables. And it can only be solved if we have given the total number of Chocolates.
