A Correct answer
Explanation

Total parts = 3 + 2 = 5. Sheela's share = (3/5) * 35 = 3 * 7 = 21.

AI explanation

Sheela receives 3 parts out of the total 3 + 2 = 5 parts. To find her share, multiply her fractional portion by the total number of pens, which is 3/5 * 35. This calculation gives exactly 21 pens. Sheela gets 21 pens.
