    Question

    Umesh took 100 chocolates out of 250 chocolates from Ruchi. Umesh gave 20% of his chocolates to Shalaka and 35% of his chocolates to Marry. Then Ruchi gave 50% of her remaining chocolates to Umesh. Find the number of chocolates Umesh had at the end.

    A.

    125

    B.

    130

    C.

    120

    D.

    75

    Correct option is C

    Given:

    Umesh took 100 chocolates out of 250 chocolates from Ruchi.

    Umesh gave 20% of his chocolates to Shalaka and 35% of his chocolates to Marry.

    Ruchi gave 50% of her remaining chocolates to Umesh.

    Solution:

    Calculating the number of chocolates Umesh gave away.

    Umesh took 100 chocolates from Ruchi.

    Umesh gave 20% of his chocolates to Shalaka:

    20% of 100 = 20100×100 \frac{20}{100} \times 100​ = 20

    Umesh gave 35% of his chocolates to Marry:

    35% of 100 = 35100×100 \frac{35}{100} \times 100​ = 35

    Total chocolates given away by Umesh:

    20 + 35 = 55

    So, Umesh is left with:

    100 – 55 = 45 chocolates

    Calculating the number of chocolates Ruchi has left.

    Ruchi originally had 250 chocolates.

    Umesh took 100 chocolates, so Ruchi has: 250 – 100 = 150 chocolates left

    Ruchi gives 50% of her remaining chocolates to Umesh:

    50% of 150 =50100×150 \frac{50}{100} \times 150​ = 75

    So, Ruchi gives 75 chocolates to Umesh.

    Umesh already had 45 chocolates.

    Ruchi gave him 75 chocolates.

    So, the total chocolates Umesh has at the end are: 45 + 75 = 120
