Solution

The correct option is B 9
Let the number of marbles with Krishna be x.

Given, Shyam has 6 marbles more than Krishna does.
$⟹$ Number of marbles with Shyam = $x + 6$

Given, Ram has 5 marbles more than Shyam does.
$⟹$ Number of marbles with Ram = $x + 6 + 5 = x + 11$

Also given, total number of marbles with Ram and Shyam = 35
$⟹$ $x + 6 + x + 11 = 35$
$⟹$ $2 x + 17 = 35$
$⟹$ $2 x = 35 - 17$
$⟹$ $2 x = 18$
$⟹$ $x = 9$

Therefore, number of marbles with Krishna = x = 9
