Answer 2

Answer:

6 sweets

Step-by-step explanation:

We observe that on increasing the number of children, number of sweets got by each will be less. So, they are in inverse proportion.

=> $\rm x_1y_1 = x_2y_2$

where, $\rm x_1 = 24, \: y_1 = 5, \: x_2 = 20$ and $\rm y_2 = a$ (let)

=> 24 × 5 = 20 × a

=> a = 24 × 5/20

=> a = 24/4

=> a = 6

Hence, the required number of sweets = 6.
