    Sneha had some cupcakes that she gave to Priya to share,

    but 25% of the cupcakes got ruined. Priya then distributed the remaining cupcakes between two friends (X and Y) in the ratio 3:5. If X received 12 cupcakes fewer than Y, find out how many cupcakes Sneha originally had.
    A 50 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 60 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 64 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 48 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the number of cupcakes received by тАШXтАЩ and тАШYтАЩ be 3x and 5x, respectively.

    According to the question,

    5x тАУ 3x = 12

    Or, 2x = 12

    Or, x = 6

    Therefore, total number of cupcakes distributed by Priya = 8x = 48

    Therefore, total number of cupcakes Sneha had = 48/0.75 = 64
