See it is clearly mentioned that One half contain 5 portions dat means it is talking about the half portion not the whole brick......
so dat means 5 portions of a half brick
wat i thnk is it should be


5*12=60 ( 5 portion * 12 gm Per)
60 * 2 = 120 ( for 2 half bricks)
please let me knw if ny bdy have ny doubt in this..
