Answer 1

The total amount of the money could be divided among the three and there will be a remainder of 2.This remainder could be shared between two of the participants make the distribution to be:A=4,B=5, C=5.the other way is by giving A half of the money and dividing the remaining half between B and C. In the other half one will get 4 and the other one gets 3.This gives us a distribution of:A=7,B=4 and C=3.Therefore there are many ways this amount can be shared provided the total Rs is retained as 14 and the number of participants retained as 3.
