The difference between the number of chocolates hold by B – C & A – H is 8.(33/8 or 27/35) between the number of chocolates hold by D – G & A – B is same but not less than 6. 

The number of chocolates hold by C is exactly divisible by 5. Total number of chocolates hold by C and H is 60. Thus C=25 and H=35 A=27. If A – B is same but not less than 6.thus B=33.and D-G= 18-12=6

The difference between the number of chocolates hold by D – E & G – F is same but not less than 4.

G-F= 18-14=4, thus G=18 and F=14, D-E= 16-12=4.

Final arrangement as follows-
