Hello candidate,

In the given question its mentioned that there are two bags in which one bag has x number of gold coins, and the second back has one third more number of gold coins which makes the number is equal to 4x/3.

It's also given that the difference in the number of gold coins in both the back is equal to 5, so 4x/3- x/3 =5. So, the number of gold coins in the smaller lot of bags is equal to 15 and the second bag has a total of 20 gold coins.

Hope you found it helpful.
