Chinu has some apples,tinku has 10 apples more than chinu and kuhu has thrice of tinku and total apples are 60.how many apple chinu has?

Let's denote the number of apples that Chinu has as \( x \).

- Tinku has 10 more apples than Chinu, so Tinku has \( x + 10 \) apples.
- Kuhu has thrice as many apples as Tinku, so Kuhu has \( 3(x + 10) \) apples.

The total number of apples is 60. Therefore, we can write the equation:

\[
x + (x + 10) + 3(x + 10) = 60
\]

Simplifying the equation:

\[
x + x + 10 + 3x + 30 = 60
\]

\[
5x + 40 = 60
\]

Now, subtract 40 from both sides:

\[
5x = 20
\]

Finally, divide both sides by 5:

\[
x = 4
\]

So, Chinu has 4 apples.
