Solution

Each of the three kids gets at least one color box out of 6 color boxes, at least one tiffin box out of 6 tiffin box and at least one chocolate box out of 6 chocolate boxes so that the total number of the items that each of them gets is the same. No one gets the same number of tiffin boxes, color boxes and chocolate boxes.

It is given that the total number of the items that each of them gets is the same.

Total number of items=6+6+6=18

So each one will get 18/3=6 items.

If no one gets the same number of tiffin boxes, color boxes and chocolate boxes

Then the number of items with each must be 1,2,3. 

tiffin boxes     color boxes     chocolate boxes.

      1                     2                         3

      2                     3                         1 

      3                     1                         2.

Only option D is correct.
