After Ali gives 4 marbles to Kai and Raju loses 12 marbles, all three have the same number.
[[model:questions/solutions/q5422.png]]
• Total marbles after changes = 84 − 12 = 72 (Raju's 12 are lost, not given)
• Each boy at the end = 72 ÷ 3 = 24 marbles
• Ali at first = 24 + 4 = 28 (he gave 4 to Kai)
• Kai at first = 24 − 4 = 20 (he received 4 from Ali)
• Raju at first = 24 + 12 = 36 (he lost 12)
• Ratio = 28 : 20 : 36 = 7 : 5 : 9
Final Answer: 7 : 5 : 9
