Answer:
The possible value of X are;
15, 30, 45, 60 etc
Step-by-step explanation:
The parameters given are
Number of chocolates Tanmay had = X
Number of chocolates Tanmay gave to Akash = 1/3 × X
Number of chocolates Tanmay gave to Sharad = 1/5 × X
Whereby 3 and 5 are factors of X, therefore;
3 × 5 = 15 is the lowest single factor of X
The possible values of X starting from the lowest factor are given as follows;
15 × 1 = 15
15 × 2 = 30
15 × 3 = 45
15 × 4 = 60
Hence, the possible value of X are the arithmetic progression a + (n - 1)×d
Where:
a = 15
n = 1, 2, 3, 4, ...
d = 15
Which includes;
15, 30, 45, 60
