Given, ratio of the remaining flowers to that of flowers in

The beginning = 3:5


Number of remaining flowers = 3x


Number of flowers or total flowers at the beginning = 5x


Number of total flower Karstubh had = 60(given)

x = 12


(divide by 5 on both the sides)


Number of remaining flowers after offering in the temple = 3 × 12


= 36


Number of flowers offered by Karstubh in the temple = 60-32


= 24
