there were some chocolates in a box. Santosh gave 1/4th of the chocolate to Pinky 1/3rd of the chocolates to Poonam and 50 chocolate to Alpana . how many chocolates were there in the box?​

Answer 1

First,we need to find the total no. of chocolates given by santosh and pinky

1/4 +1/3

3/12+4/12

7/12

Fraction of chocolates given to alpana

12/12-7/12

5/12

(Unitary method)

5/12=50

1/12=50/5

10

Total no.of chocolates=10*12

120 chocolates

Answer 2

There are 120 chocolates

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total chocolates be x

Santosh gave 1/4th of the chocolate to Pinky

Chocolates for Pinky = $\frac{1}{4}x$

1/3rd of the chocolates to Poonam

Chocolates for Poonam =$\frac{1}{3}x$

Remaining chocolates = $x-(\frac{1}{4}x+\frac{1}{3}x)$

He gave 50 chocolates to Alpana

So,$x-(\frac{1}{4}x+\frac{1}{3}x)= 50$

$x-\frac{7}{12}x=50 \\\frac{5}{12}x=50\\x=\frac{50 \times 12}{5}$

x=120

Hence There are 120 chocolates
