Solution

Final number of leaves by both : 2 Mark
Steps : 1 Mark
Result : 1 mark

First case, Sonu collected 12 leaves and Raju collected x leaves

Sum of leaves collected by sonu = 12

Sum of leaves collected by Raju =x

After sometime,Sonu lost 3 leaves and Raju collected 2x leave

Sum of leaves collected by sonu = 12-3 =9

Sum of leaves collected by Raju = 2x +x =3x

Algebraic expression for the total number leaves collected by both =9+ 3x
