Solution

The correct option is B 5x
You can take any variable to represent the number of chocolates you have. Consider 'x' to be the number of chocolates.
Now if you receive the same number of chocolates from your friend, you will now have twice the number of chocolates you had initially.
Since another friend gives you the thrice the number you had, he's giving you 3x chocolates.
Consider x to be the number of chocolates. he's giving you 3x chocolates.
Hence, the total number of chocolates you have now will be (2x + 3x = 5x).
