Olivia had some apples and chikoos in 2 containers. In Container V, the number of apples to the number of chikoos was in the ratio of 5 : 8. In Container W, there were thrice as many apples as chikoos. After Olivia transferred ³₄ of the chikoos from Container V to Container W, the number of fruits left in Container V was 196 and the ratio of the number of apples to the number of chikoos in Container B became 1 : 5. How many fruits were in Container W in the end?

	Container V		Container W
	Apples	Chikoos	Apples	Chikoos
Before	5 u	8 u	3x1 =  3 p	1x1 = 1 p
Change		- 6 u		+ 6 u (+ 14 p)
After	5 u	2 u	1x3 = 3 p	5x3 = 15 p

Number of chikoos that Olivia transferred from Container V to Container W
= ³₄ x 8 u
= 6 u

Total number of fruits in Container V in the end
= 5 u + 2 u
= 7 u

7 u = 196
1 u = 196 ÷ 7 = 28

The number of apples in Container W is the unchanged quantity.
LCM of 3 and 1 is 3.

Number of chikoos that Olivia transferred from Container V to Container W
= 6 u
= 6 x 28
= 168

Increase in the number of chikoos that due to the transfer from Container V to Container W
= 15 p - 1 p
= 14 p

14 p = 6 u 
14 p = 168

1 p = 168 ÷ 14 = 12

Number of fruits in Container W in the end
= 3 p + 15 p
= 18 p
= 18 x 12
= 216

Answer(s): 216
