उत्तर
Let number of flowers offered by Kaustubh in the temple be x.
Then, remaining flowers = 60 – x
`"Number of remaining flowers"/"Number of flowers in beginning" = 3/5` ...[Given]
⇒ `(60 - x)/60 = 3/5`
⇒ 300 – 5x = 180
⇒ 5x = 300 – 180
⇒ 5x = 120
⇒ x = `120/5`
∴ x = 24
Hence, the number of flowers offered by Kaustubh in the temple is 24.
