Answer:
The common factors between them is only 1 and 3. Since, there is no food supposed to be left we cannot divide it with 1.
Dividing 15 and 12 with three gives 5 and 4 respectively. So Abhi can make three servings with 5 vegetable stick and 4 bread stick. The plates are identical with no leftover.
If it's allowed to break in half, he can make 6 servings with four half pieces of bread stick and 5 half pieces of vegetable sticks.
