First of all the right question is:

Last Year my cousin came to my place and we played a game where the loosing one has to give one chocolate to the person who won the game .At the end of the vacation, i.e the day my cousin was leaving she counted number of games that I won an she won. At last she gave me a total of 8 chocolates even though she won about 12 games.
How many days did my cousin stayed in my house?

Ans: She won 12 times means I lost 12 times, also She gave me 8 chocolates

thus the total no of times I won are 12+8 times = 20 times.

She won 12 times.

Thus she stayed in my place for 20 +12 = 32 days.

8+8+12= 28 days she stayed
firstly she won 8 games she must loose all 8 so it will take 16 days
then she lost 12 games to loose 12 chocolates
