100 chocolates---- 99+1 wrappers
exchanging 99 wrappers;we are left with
33 chocolates+1 wrapper----- 33+1 wrapper
exchanging 33 wrappers,we are left with
11 chocolates +1 wrapper------12 wrappers
exchanging 12 wrappers,we are left with
4 chocolates------3+1 wrappers
exchanging 3 wrappers,we get
1 chocolate
at last we are left wid two wrappers that cannot be exchanged
therfore: no.of chocolates= 100+33+11+4+1=149

Total no of chocolates= 100 ( 1 wrapper is left)+(99/3)+(33/3)+(12/3)( 1 old wrapper is used)+1( one wrapper is left) + 1 ( got by using 1 old wrapper , one latest wrapper and one returned again by taking last choclate)=150

147
for 100 we can get 100
now for 100 wrapper we can get 33
for 33 wrapper=11
for 11 wrapper=3
so total=100+33+11+3=147
