• X person, Y chocolates
  1st equation ==> (Y-1)/x = 1
  2nd equation ==> Y/(X-1) = 2
  Solving we get x = 3 , Y =4

• Acc. to the question in first case the equation formed is: x=y-1
  similarly case 2 gives: 2y=x-1
  so, x=2 and y=3
  
  if 2 persons are given 1 choclate each we are left with 1 choclate and if we give 2 choclate 1 person will be left.

• 3 person
  4 chocolates
  explanation:
  a/c question,
  no. of person = X
  no. of chocolates = Y
  X = Y-1-----(1)
  Y/(X-1) = 2 -------(2)
  solving eq. (1) & eq. (2)
  we get,
  X=3
  Y=4

• CHOC,y=x+1
  person=x
  also,y=2x-2
  2x-2=x+1
  x=3
  y=4

• Best Solution for this question is... "Go With Options Given"

• acording to 1st stmt.,y=x+1.,bcuz 1 choc is more if each one is given 1.,
  acording to 2nd stmt.,y=2x-1.,bcuz 1 person is more if each one is given 2 choc.,
  therefore by solving the equations we get
  no.of person (X) =2
  no of chocolates (Y) =3

• x prsn y choc.... now eq-1 x+1=y as 1st condtn say each prsn get 1 choc and 1 choc lft...and eq-2 (x-1)*2=y as 2nd condtn say if ech gt 2 choc thn 1 prsn lft... so frm eq 1 and 2 e gt 2(x-1)=x+1 so x=3 and y=4 ......

• x=3, y=4
  y=x+1; y=2(x-1)
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
• x-choclate,y-person
  x=y+1 and 2y=y+2
  then x=3 and y=2
• 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(3)
• the answer is X=3, y=4

• 3 persons 4 choc....Y-X=1
  2X-Y=2....solve these 2 eq.
