Answer:
Given, two brands of chocolates are available in pack of 24 and 15 respectively.
We need to buy an equal number of chocolates of both kinds.
For this we find the LCM of 24 and 15
Now, 24 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 3
and 15 = 3 * 5
LCM(24, 15) = 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 5 = 120
Now, the number of boxes of pack of 24 = 120/24 = 5
and the number of boxes of pack of 15 = 120/15 = 8
