Linda had some lemons and chikoos in 2 cartons. In Carton W, the number of lemons to the number of chikoos was in the ratio of 3 : 10. In Carton X, there were twice as many lemons as chikoos. After Linda transferred ³₅ of the chikoos from Carton W to Carton X, the number of fruits left in Carton W was 182 and the ratio of the number of lemons to the number of chikoos in Carton B became 3 : 8. How many fruits were in Carton X in the end?

	Carton W		Carton X
	Lemons	Chikoos	Lemons	Chikoos
Before	3 u	10 u	2x3 =  6 p	1x3 = 3 p
Change		- 6 u		+ 6 u (+ 13 p)
After	3 u	4 u	3x2 = 6 p	8x2 = 16 p

Number of chikoos that Linda transferred from Carton W to Carton X
= ³₅ x 10 u
= 6 u

Total number of fruits in Carton W in the end
= 3 u + 4 u
= 7 u

7 u = 182
1 u = 182 ÷ 7 = 26

The number of lemons in Carton X is the unchanged quantity.
LCM of 2 and 3 is 6.

Number of chikoos that Linda transferred from Carton W to Carton X
= 6 u
= 6 x 26
= 156

Increase in the number of chikoos that due to the transfer from Carton W to Carton X
= 16 p - 3 p
= 13 p

13 p = 6 u 
13 p = 156

1 p = 156 ÷ 13 = 12

Number of fruits in Carton X in the end
= 6 p + 16 p
= 22 p
= 22 x 12
= 264

Answer(s): 264
