megha bought 5 bags of
cookies and swarna bought 9bags
of cookies .
If each bag has 3 cookies, then megha contributed 15 cookies and swarna contributed 27 cookies. so total 42 cookies.
Each one ate 14 cookies.
Megha gave one cookie to Hina and Swarna gave 13 cookies to Hina.
so amt of Rs 80 will be divided betweem Megha and swarna in ratio of 1:13.
So amt recd by megha = 80*1/14= Rs 40/7
amt recd by Swarna = 80*13/14 = Rs 40*13/7 = Rs. 520/7

Swarna's Share=(120/7)*9-80=520/7

suppose each bag contains 3 cookies, as three of them them had equal share. so everyone got 14 cookies each. thus megha gave 1 cookie, and swarna gave 14 cookies. so swarna got 14*42/(80*3) and megha got 1*42/(80*3)
