Magical Chocolates
You have two jars of chocolates labeled as P and Q. If you move one chocolate from P to Q, the number of chocolates on B will become twice the number of chocolates in A. If you move one chocolate from Q to P, the number of chocolates in both jars will become equal.
Can you find out how many chocolates are there in P and Q respectively?
The question is faulty in its present form. It is stated as “If you move one chocolate from P to Q, the number of chocolates on B will become twice the number of chocolates in A” whereas the jars are ‘labeled as P and Q‘. How does ‘A’ and ‘B’ come into the picture? It seems that A and B should have been P and Q respectively.
With this assumption, the solution is P = 5 and Q = 7. (5 – 1 = 4 = 2 x (7 + 1); (7 – 1) = (5 + 1)
Explanation:
If you move one chocolate from P to Q, the number of chocolates on Q will become twice the number of chocolates in P => (P – 1) x 2 = Q + 1
If you move one chocolate from Q to P, the number of chocolates in both jars will become equal => Q – 1 = P + 1
Solving the above two, we get Q = 7 and P = 5.
