Final answer:
Sunayana had 24 friends on her birthday, and each friend received 2 Snickers and 3 Cadbury chocolates when she distributed 48 Snickers and 72 Cadburys equally among them.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is asking to determine how many friends Sunayana had on her birthday and how many Snickers and Cadbury chocolates each friend received when 48 Snickers and 72 Cadburys were distributed equally among them. To solve this, we need to find a common divisor of 48 and 72, which indicates the number of friends.
The highest common divisor of 48 and 72 is 24. This means Sunayana had 24 friends at her birthday party. We can then distribute the chocolates equally by dividing the total number of each type of chocolate by the number of friends. So, each friend received 48 Snickers ÷ 24 friends = 2 Snickers and 72 Cadburys ÷ 24 friends = 3 Cadbury chocolates.
