For minimum number of invitations sent by Asha,
All of Asha’s friends need to know each other and their friends should also be the same i.e.

Asha has 10 friends and each of her friends has 15 friends.
So, apart from Asha, each of the 10 friends has 14 friends each.
As, Asha’s at least two friends know each other
