Solution

The correct option is B 36

Number of chocolates Amrit has after going to shop A = 3
Number of chocolates Amrit has after going to shop B = 3 x 3 + 3 = 12
Number of chocolates Amrit has after shop B and eating 3 = 12 - 3 = 9
Number of chocolates Amrit has after going to shop C = 3 x 9 + 9 = 36
Hence, the number of chocolates Amrit has at the end is 36.
