Correct Answer: 5


Solution : Let the number of chocolates with Ravi be $x$.
Given: The total number of chocolates with Bhanu at last = 54
Then, the number of chocolates with Bhanu = $0.8x$
The number of chocolates Ravi gave to his sister = $0.1x$
Number of chocolates with Bhanu after he received chocolates from his uncle = $1.35\times 0.8x$
So, $1.35\times 0.8x = 54$
$\therefore x = 50$
So, the Number of chocolates Ravi gave to his sister $=0.1\times 50 = 5$
Hence, the correct answer is 5.
