Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of each of son's item = Rs.324
Cost of each of daughter's item = Rs.220
To find the least and equal amount of money we need to find L.C.M. of 324 and 220.
Therefore, L.C.M. of 324 and 220 is 17820.
Hence, we got the answer of question (a), that is Rs.17820.
b)No. of items son will receive = 17820/324 = 55 items
No. of items daughter will receive = 17820/220 = 81 items
Here are your answers. Hope it helps!
