Answer / anjali
solution x = 39, y = 21, z = 12
solve it by backtracking.
we know finally each has 24.
x y z
--- --- ---
final: 24 24 24
12 12 48 before z gives
6 42 24 before y gives
initial: 39 21 12 before x gives

Answer / arulmurugan.c
finally
x=24
y=24
z=24
before this
x=24-12=12
y=24-12=12
z=24+12+12=48
before this
x=12-6=6
z=48-24=24
y=12+6+24=42
before this
y=42-21=21
z=24-12=12
x=6+21+12=39
so initially
x=39
y=21
z=12
totally 72 chocolates
