Correct Answer: 84
Solution :
Given: A box of sweets was distributed between A and B in the ratio of 3 : 4 and A got 36 sweets.
Let A get 3x and B get 4x sweets, respectively.
Total number of sweets = 3x + 4x = 7x
According to the question,
3x = 36
$\therefore$ x = 12
The total number of sweets = 7x = 7 × 12 = 84
Hence, the correct answer is 84.
