let the number of spectacles broke by Nithin be x and Shreyas be y.
A.T.Q
the total number of spectacles broke = number of spectacles broke by Nithin+ number of spectacles broke by Shreyas
total number= x+y
100 = x + y. eq. 1
again A.T.Q
Nithin broke 3 times as much as Shreyas did:
x = 3y. eq. 2
putting the value of x = 3y in eq. 1
x + y = 100
3y + y = 100
4y = 100
y = 25
Hence, the number of spectacles broken by Shreyas are 25.
