Answer 2

Number of remaining children: 24 - 4 = 20

Let the number of sweets which each of the 20 students will get, be x.

The following table is obtained.

Number of students 24 20

Number of sweets 5 х

If the number of students is less, then each student will get more number of sweets.

Since this is a case of inverse proportion

=> $24 \times 5 = 20 \times x$

=> $x = \frac{24 \times 5}{20} = 6$

Hence, each student will get 6 sweets.
