In a birthday party there were 84 chocolates inside a box. Child took 24 from it but put 22 back to the box. Then again he took 27 out but put 19 back into the box. Lastly, he took 15 Chocolates out from the box. So, how many Chocolates are there inside the box? Correct Answer 59

As per the question,

There is a total of 84 chocolates in a box.

Now, 24 chocolates is removed and 22 were put back.

So, the remaining chocolates in the box will be:

⇒ 84 - (24 - 22)

⇒ 84 - 2

⇒ 82

Now, the remaining chocolates in the box are 82.

Again, 27 chocolates are removed and 19 were placed in the box again.

So, the remaining chocolates in the box will be:

⇒ 82 - (27 - 19)

⇒ 82 - 8

⇒ 74.

Now, the remaining chocolates in the boxes are 74.

Now, 15 chocolates are removed and none were placed inside.

Therefore, the remaining  chocolates will be:

⇒ 74 - 15

⇒ 59

As the remaining chocolates are 59

Hence, the correct answer should be "Option 2 : 59".
