    We can take 2 plates, 3 plates or 6 plates.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    1 dozen = 12 numbers

    Total number of cookies = 42

    Each plate has to get atleast 7 cookies, all the plates should have the same number of cookies and also the number of plates must be greater than or equal to 2.

    If we take 2 plates, there can be 21 cookies in each. If we take 3 plates, there can be 14 cookies in each. If we take 6 plates, there can be 7 cookies in each.

    These are the 3 possible cases.

    Since there cannot be broken pieces, no other combination is possible.
