Question

Shyak has 25 chocoloates and he gave 15 to Rakesh. Later his best friend Sonam was upset with him because he gave 15 chocolates to Rakesh. Now, Sonam asked Shyak to give her 30 chocolates to keep their friendship from breaking. How many chocolates Shyak has to borrow more to settle his friendship with Sonam?

• A. 20
• B. 10
• C. 15
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A 20

Given,

Number of chocolates Shyak has = 25

Number of chocolates given to Rakesh by Shyak = 15

Number of Chocolates left with Shyak = 25 - 15
= 10

Number of Chocolates needed to settle his friendship with Sonam = 30

Shyak needs to borrow = 10 - 30
= -20
[Borrow is represented as negative integer]
$\therefore$ Shyak has to borrow 20 chocolates to settle his frienship with Sonam.
