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
