Solution

Let number of flowers offered by Kaustabh in the temple be x.
Then, remaining flowers=60-x
According to the question,
$\frac{N u m b e r o f r e m a i n i n g f l o w e r s}{N u m b e r o f f l o w e r s i n b e g i n n i n g} = \frac{3}{5}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{60 - x}{60} = \frac{3}{5} \Rightarrow 300 - 5 x = 180 \Rightarrow 5 x = 300 - 180 \Rightarrow 5 x = 120 \Rightarrow x = \frac{120}{5} ∴ x = 24$
Hence, the number of flowers offered by Kaustubh in the temple is 24.
