A pack of chocolates is divided between three friends, Amar, Akbar and Anthony in the ratio 3:4:5 respectively. If Akbar gets 50 chocolates more than Amar, then how much does Anthony get? Correct Answer 250

Given:

A pack of chocolates is divided between three friends, Amar, Akbar and Anthony in the ratio 3:4:5 respectively and Akbar gets 50 chocolates more than Amar

Calculation:

Let the number of chocolates received by Amar, Akbar and Anthony be 3x, 4x and 5x respectively

⇒ 4x = 3x + 50

⇒ x = 50

⇒ number of chocolates received by Anthony = 5x = 5 × 50 = 250

∴ required number of chocolates received by Anthony = 250
