• let the total no.of sweets be x
  from the given information we have
  x/140-x/175=4
  x=2800

• suppose there are x chocolates for 175 students
  and 35 WAS ABSENT then 140 is remaining and eacd got 4 choclates extra
  175*x=140(x+4)
  solving above equations we will get 2800

• Let the each children got x number of sweets
  By the given question
  175x = 140(x+4) {since 35 chidrens are left) .........eq.1
  Therefore from eq (1) X=16
  This will substitute in 140(x+4)
  Therefore 140(16+4)=140*20=2800
