    Question

    A has 10 chocolates, and B has 8 chocolates. C wants to

    buy some chocolates from them, so they decide to share all the chocolates equally among the three. In return, C pays a total of ₹54 to A and B together. How much more money does A receive compared to B?
    A 18 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 20 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 17 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 16 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    As A and B had a total of 18 chocolates, so A and B must have given 4 and 2 chocolates respectively to C.
    Hence, the ratio of their share must be 2:1. Now Raj paid ₹54 for 6 chocolates. So cost of one chocolate is ₹9.
    Hence A and B got ₹36 and ₹18 respectively.
    Therefore, A gets ₹18 more than B.
