605 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 receive?

A. 11
B. 24
C. 45
D. cannot be determined

Let the total number of children be x.

Then x × 20/100 × x = 605

=> x2 = 3025

=> x = √3025 = 55

Number of sweets received by each child

= (20/100 ×55) = 11
