The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, let's break it down. ### Step 1: Define the Variables Let the number of chocolates Vijay has be represented by \( X \). According to the problem, Joshna has two-thirds of the chocolates that Vijay has. Therefore, we can express the number of chocolates Joshna has as: \[ \text{Joshna's chocolates} = \frac{2}{3}X \] ### Step 2: Set Up the Equation The problem states that if Vijay gives 5 chocolates to Joshna, they will have an equal number of chocolates. After Vijay gives 5 chocolates to Joshna, the number of chocolates each will have can be expressed as: - Vijay's chocolates after giving away 5: \( X - 5 \) - Joshna's chocolates after receiving 5: \( \frac{2}{3}X + 5 \) Since they will have equal chocolates after this transaction, we can set up the equation: \[ X - 5 = \frac{2}{3}X + 5 \] ### Step 3: Solve the Equation Now, we will solve the equation for \( X \). 1. First, isolate \( X \) on one side: \[ X - \frac{2}{3}X = 5 + 5 \] 2. Simplify the left side: \[ \frac{1}{3}X = 10 \] 3. Multiply both sides by 3 to solve for \( X \): \[ X = 30 \] ### Step 4: Find the Number of Chocolates Joshna Has Now that we know the number of chocolates Vijay has, we can find out how many chocolates Joshna has: \[ \text{Joshna's chocolates} = \frac{2}{3}X = \frac{2}{3} \times 30 = 20 \] ### Conclusion Thus, the number of chocolates Joshna has is: \[ \text{Joshna has } 20 \text{ chocolates.} \] ---
