Solution

9

Explanation:

The number of bananas received by Shubham and Anil is the ratio 3 : 5.

Let the number of bananas received by Shubham and Anil be 3x and 5x, respectively.

∴ 3x + 5x = 24

⇒ 8x = 24

⇒ x = 3

∴ Number of bananas received by Shubham = 3x = 3 × 3 = 9

Thus, Shubham gets 9 bananas.
