Raju and Gywneth shared some sweets. If Raju gave 1/2 of his share to Gywneth, Gywneth will have 8 more sweets from Raju. If Raju gave 1/4 of his share to Gywneth, Gywneth would have 2 more sweets than Raju. How many sweets did Raju have at first ? [Ans 12]

                  |2|
R [  ][  ][  ][  ]
G [  ][   8     ]
2 u --> 8 - 2 = 6
4 u --> 4/2 x 6 = 12 sweets
