    Here every child gets at least 2 gifts.
    So 21 children gets 21*2= 42 gifts.
    Remaining 8 gifts.
    So 4 of the 21 children gets 4 gifts each.
    Answer: 4 children

    suppose ‘x’ no of children having 2 gifts
    and (21-x)having 4 gifts
    then equation become
    x*2+(21-x)*4=50
    solving equation
    we get
    x=17
    21-x=4
