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

Answer / puneeth
let F friends and C no.of chocolates
3(F-1)+2=C--->(1)
2F+15=C----->(2)
equating above equations and solving we get
3F-3+2=2F+15
F=16
from above equation(1)
3(16)-1=C
c=48-1
C=47

On the shelf you have 10 identical bottles of identical pills (let?s say there?s a hundred pills in each bottle). However, one of those 10 bottles contains cheap knockoff pills. The only way to differentiate fake pills from real pills is the weight - while real pills weigh 1 g each, the knockoff pills are only 0.9 g. You have one scale that shows the exact weight (down to the mg) of whatever is weighed. How can you tell which bottle contains fake pills with just 1 weighing?
