Hi Damodharan,

Actually, both are incorrect.

The reason is that the verb "to be" is not used that way.
(For more data, visit this page:
The Verb To Be)

The correct sentence would be something like this:
"There are many chances for the snacks to be there."

OR

"There are many chances there would be snacks."
