      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.
