405 sweets were distributed equally among children in such a way that the number of sweets received by each child is 20% of the total number of children. How many sweets did each child recieve ?
Correct Answer: Option D
Let the total number of children be x.
Then, x \(\times\) (20% of x) = 405
=> x \(\times\) 20x \(\div\) 100 = 405
\(\frac15x^2\) = 405
=> x=45
Number of sweets received by each child = 20% of 45 = 9.
