Five kids were sharing out a box of candies. Amar took one-third, Babu took one-quarter,Chetan took one-fifth, and Dinakar took one-sixth. That left six candies as Shiva's share. Howmany candies were altogether?

• let the total no of candies in a box= x
  then aman took=x/3
  babu took=x/4 and chetan took = x/5 and the remaining should be shiva's share
  then
  x-(x/3+x/4+x/5+x/6) =6 i.e 3x/60=6
  therefore x=120

• let the total number of candies be x,
  Amar share = x/3,
  babu share = x/4,
  chetan share = x/5,
  dinakar share = x/6,
  shiva's share = 6,
  x = x/3 + x/4 + x/5 + x/6 + 6
  x = 120

• x/3+x/4+x/5+x/6+6=x
  .05x=6
  x=120.so 120 candies were there alltogether.
