Answer 1

Answer:The first villager should get 16.664 Paisa and the second villager should get 23.332 Paisa .

Step-by-step explanation:

Quantity of sattu 1st villager had= 250g

Quantity of sattu the 2nd villager had= 350g

•°• Total sattu both of them had= 600g

When distributed equally between them,

the 1st villager gets= (250/600*100) = 41.66 %

the 2nd villager gets= (350/600*100)= 58.33%

A/Q,

The 3rd villager pays 40paisa for his share.

Therefore, the first villager gets= 41.66% of 40 paisa

= 16.664 Paisa

The second villager gets= 58.33% of 40 paisa = 23.332 paisa
