      Question

      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 ‘X’ and ‘Y’ be 3x and 5x, respectively.

      According to the question,

      5x – 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
