Answer : 3. "56"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 56 Explanation: Girl eats 112 chocolates in 30 sec so she can eat in 12 sec is 12 x 112/30 = 44.8 chocolates. Her boy friend can eat one-half of 112 in twice of 30 sec so he can eat 56 in 60 sec Then he can eat in 12 sec is 56 x 12/60 = 11.2 chocolates. Hence, together they can eat = 44.8 + 11.2 =56 chocolates in 12 seconds.
