Let the number of sets that each picked be x
Then Zain picked 3x strawberries while Hina picked 2x strawberries
Therefore, 3x + 2x = 375
5x = 375
x = 75

This means that Zain picked 75 * 3, or 225 strawberries, and Hina picked 75 * 2 = 150 strawberries. Together, they picked 225 + 150, or 375 strawberries.
