I don’t quite agree with the solution. least number of order should be 1 order by F or G, 2dozen=24 donut, why are we considering 2 orders of F or G, the question says, atleast 1 order , kindly explain

The question says "each business placed at least one order" and "no business placed more than two orders."

That means the minimum number of orders per business is 1, and the maximum is 2. But we also know the total number of donuts delivered is 120 per day × 3 days = 360 donuts.

If F or G placed only 1 order (i.e., 24 donuts), we would not be able to distribute the remaining donuts to other businesses while also ensuring every business places at least one order and no more than two.

That’s why the solution checks valid combinations of daily deliveries totaling 120 donuts, while satisfying all constraints. The only workable distribution is the one where each business places exactly 2 orders, meaning F and G each receive 48 donuts, not 24.

Please review the question and the solution carefully.
