A Correct answer
Explanation

Let the shares be 3x, 4x, and 5x. Akbar gets 50 more than Amar, so 4x - 3x = 50, which means x = 50. Anthony's share is 5x = 5 * 50 = 250.

AI explanation

The difference between Akbar's and Amar's shares represents 1 ratio unit, which equals 50 chocolates. Anthony's share corresponds to 5 ratio units. Therefore, Anthony gets 5 multiplied by 50, which is 250 chocolates.
