HI student,
If a cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes just after completion of mitotic telophase than 46 chromatids were present in metaphase as the number of chromatids is double the number of chromosomes present in the cell.
Feel free to ask doubts in the Comment Section.
I hope this information helps you.
Good Luck!
