Answer / guest

47 Chocolates and 16 Friends

Let's assume that there are total C chocolates and F friends.

According to first case, if she gives 3 chocolates to each
friend, one friend will get only 2

chocolates.

3*(F - 1) + 2 = C

Similarly, if she gives 2 chocolates to each friends, she
will left with 15 chocolates.

2*F + 15 = C

Solving above 2 equations, F = 16 and C = 47. Hence, Ekta
got 47 chocolates and 16 friends
