Question: fruits are purchase and if shared among 2 one remains shared among 3 people 2 left .How many fruits purchae? 

Answer: Five. If shared among two people, each would get two and have one left over. If shared among three people, each would get one and there would be two left.  Don't get confused - it's not saying that each would get the same number whether it was two or three sharing.
