Solution

The correct option is D

100


According to the axiom - 'if equals are added to equals, the wholes are equal.'

Rahul has 105 chocolates after adding 5 chocolates to the box of 100 chocolates.

It is given that Ramu also added 5 chocolates to get 105 chocolates at the end.

Hence it can be deduced that Ramu also had 100 chocolates before adding 5 chocolates to his box.
