Logial Reasoning (CLAT) Arithmetical Reasoning

There were twelve dozens of chocolates with a shopkeeper. Ten chocolates were distributed by the shopkeeper to the children of his colony. The shopkeeper then added two more dozens of chocolates in his stock. If the shopkeeper divided the total chocolates equally in two different packets, then how many chocolates were there in each packet?

152

158

Explanation:

Total chocolates before distributing to children = 12 *12 = 144
10 chocolates were given to children, then number of chocolates left = 144 – 10 = 134
However, two more dozens of chocolates were added, then total chocolates = 134 + 24 = 158
Number of chocolates per packet = 158 /2 = 79
