Question
Kabilan was having 10 pencils with him. He gave 2 pencils to Senthil and 3 to Karthik. Next day his father gave him 6 more pencils, from that he gave 8 to his sister. How many pencils are left with him?
Solution
Total pencils Kabilan had = 10
No. of pencils given to Senthil = 2
No. of pencils given to Karthik = 3
Now number of pencils left with Kabilan = 10 – 2 – 3 = 8 – 3 = 5
Number of pencils got from his father = 6
No. total pencils Kabilan had = 5 + 6 = 11
Number of pencils given to his sister = 8
Number of pencils left with Kabilan = 11 – 8 = 3
