Mother has made laddus. She gives some laddus to guests and family members; still 5 laddus remain. If the number of laddus mother gave away is $ l $, how many laddus did she make?
Given:
Mother has made laddus. She gives some laddus to guests and family members; still 5 laddus remain.
The number of laddus mother gave away is \( l \).
To do:
We have to find the number of laddus she made.
Solution:
Number of laddus remaining $=5$
Number of laddus given away by mother $=l$
This implies,
Total number of laddus made $=$ Number of laddus given away by mother $+$ Number of laddus remaining $= (l + 5)$ laddus
Therefore, the number of laddus made by mother is $(l + 5)$ laddus.
