Detailed Solution

Irfan says that he has 7 marbles more than five times the marbles Parmit has. Irfan has 37 marbles. The number of marbles Parmit has is 6.
Given a statement, Irfan says that he has 7 marbles more than five times the marbles Parmit has. Irfan has 37 marbles.
Let us assume the number of permit’s marbles = m.
Now, Irfan has 7 marbles, more than 5 times Parmit marble.
Therefore, the number of marbles Irfan has = 5m + 7.
But it is given that Irfan has 37 marbles, equating both.
The equation is, 5m + 7 = 37.
Adding (-7) on both sides,
5m + 7 – 7 = 37 – 7
5m = 30
Dividing both sides by 5,
m= 30 5 m=6  
Therefore, the number of marbles Parmit has is 6.
