Answer:

16 sweets

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of sweet that Sekhar had = x

Sweets given to Renu = (1/4) of x = [tex]\frac{1}{4}x[/tex]

Sweets given to Raji = 5

Remaining sweets = 7

[tex]x = \frac{1}{4}x +5 + 7\\\\x -\frac{1}{4}x = 12\\\\\frac{4*x}{1*4}x-\frac{1}{4}x = 12\\\\\frac{4x}{4}-\frac{1}{4}x= 12\\\\\frac{3x}{4}=12\\\\x = 12*\frac{4}{3}\\\\x=4*4\\\\x=16[/tex]
