Q1. A group of friends want to share some chocolates. If they share equally, 3 chocolates remain. If one more friend joins, 2 chocolates remain. How many chocolates are there?
Answer: 23
Explanation: Let's denote the number of friends as 'n' and chocolates as 'c'. Then, c = kn + 3 and c = (k+1)n + 2. By setting these equal and solving, we get c = 23 when n = 5.
