    Solution

    ATQ, Let the number of candies received by Arjun and Aman be 3x and 5x respectively. Thus, the number of candies received by Anita = 3x × 1.60 = 4.8x Number of candies received by Akash = 4.8x × 4/3 = 6.4x According to the question: 6.4x – 5x = 14 1.4x = 14 x = 10 So, the value of 'y' = 10 × (3 + 5 + 4.8 + 6.4) = 10 × 19.2 = 192
